[Intro]
     D     G7      D        G7       D    DM7   B7
The poets say that all who love are blind,

    Em      B+         Em7       A7      D   Cdim  A7
But I'm in love, and I know what time it is.

     D         G7        D       G7        D    DM7   B7
The good book says, "Go seek and ye shall find."

      Em      B+         Em7        A7            C7   B7  Em7  A7
Well, I have sought, and my, what a climb it is.

    Am7              D7          GM7              Am
My life is like the weather, it changes with the hours;

F#        F#7        Am7      B7
When he's near, I'm fair and warmer --

E7                   Bb7         A7
When he's gone, I'm cloudy with showers.

D    G7      D       G7          D       G7     D     G7
In emotion, like the ocean, it's either sink or swim,

        A7           Em  F#7    Bm7-5 E7/6  Em7   A7
When a woman loves a man    like  I   love him.
[Chorus]
Edim  D    G    D   F#7      Bm7    E7   Bm7-5     E9      E   E7   Em7
Nev - er treats me sweet and gentle   the way he should --

   A7 Em7 G  B9   E7   A7    D    Bm7  Em7  A7-9
I got it bad and that ain't good.
[Chorus]
Edim  D    G    D   F#7      Bm7       E7    Bm7-5     E9   E   E7   Em7
My  poor heart is sen - ti - men - tal,   not made of wood;

   A7 Em7 G  B9   E7   A7    D   Gm7  Fdim  D7
I got it bad and that ain't good.
[Middle 8]
     G       G/F#      Em   Em7     Gm    Gdim    Edim
But when the weekend's over    and Monday rolls around,

   D      DM7    F#m   B7  Cdim  Em      B+    Fdim  A7
I end up like I start out, just cry - in'  my heart out.
[Chorus]
Edim  D    G   D   F#7    Bm7      E7    Bm7-5       E9   E   E7   Em7
He  don't love me like I love him;    no - bod - y could --

      A7 Em7 G  B9   E7   A7    D    DM7    E9
I've got it bad and that ain't good.
[Coda]
G    A7 Em7 G  B9   E7   A7    D   F#m   Bm7   Gm7    D
  I got it bad and that ain't good.
