Notes

VERSE 1

B5add7 Bmaj7

Let's make a deal

Bmaj7sus

Write some pretty words on paper

Bmaj7sus2

Sign and try to make 'em real

B5add7 Bmaj7

It's not head over heels

Bmaj7sus

But after thirty, maybe crazy's

Bmaj7sus2

Not the way love's s'posed to feel

Bmaj7sus2 Cmaj7sus2 G

That's my sanity defence

Some lower courts denied the plea

But would you see the appeal?

Emadd9

VERSE 2

Let's make a deal

Giving an "I" for an "I"

Self for self, the ideal

As our interest compounds

Who ever said absence makes fonder

Should've tried to stick around

Rather sharks in a tank

Than just fish in the sea

While years slip by like eels

BRIDGE

m F#

Let's both invest in this business of love

E B

In the good times and bad, its booms and its busts

m F#

In the bulls and the bears of the birds and the bees

A7 E

Out there bringing their best

m F#

Let's both invest til one leaves in a hearse

E B

For richer, for poorer, for better, for worse

m F#

In the bulls and the bears of the birds and the bees

Whether sickened or healed

Emadd9

VERSE 3

Let's make a deal

I'll get him bathed and put to bed

You clean up here after the meal

Then we'll watch some TV

No matter action or adventure,

Halfway through you'll be asleep

These days it passes for a date

We'll always have each other's faith

and we can work on the zeal

That was the deal
