[Verse]
G6            G/B                 Csus2   Dmaj7
I think we've given love too much air time

G6                 G/B           Csus2      Dmaj7
When you call him heaven and you call him back

G6              G/B               Csus2  Dmaj7
And you see the same needs in the new man

G6                 G/B       Csus2  Dmaj7
Tryna build on the love that he had

Dmaj7                      G6             G/B Csus2 F#m7
What if you still love him and he gives up?
[Verse]
G6            G/B                 Csus2   Dmaj7
I think we've given love too much air time

G6           G/B             Csus2  Dmaj7
You know the kinda songs I'm meaning

G6              G/B            Csus2        Dmaj7
Maybe you'll forget him with a good night out

G6          G/B                    C
What if the dress is fine but it's too loud?

F#m7                   G6           G/B  Csus2 Dmaj7 Dmaj7
What if it's still him when you lie down?
[Chorus]
Em    D   F#m7 C
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Em    D   F#m7 C
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

E|---------|
[Verse]
G6                G/B              Csus2 Dmaj7
Is that still the same love in the air?

G6        G/B              Csus2  Dmaj7
Maybe the only thing is go see him

G6        G/B              Csus2     Dmaj7
Maybe you want him to take everything

G6          G/B          Csus2      F#m7
So there's a hope of not needing him

    F#m7                   G6               G/B Csus2
But what if it's still him when you sit down?

         Dmaj7   Dmaj7
When you finally sit
[Chorus]
Em    D   F#m7        C
Ooh, ooh, turn it down

Em    D               F#m7  C
Too much love is all around

Em    D   F#m7        C
Ooh, ooh, turn it down

Em    D               F#m7  C
Too much love is all around
