1. He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants,
         C               G              F       - G
    a three-car garage, her own credit card.

    He pulls in late to wake her up,     with a kiss goodnight
G                F             C           d
    if he could only read her mind, she'd say:

 G        C                  a
Buy me a rose, call me from work,
        d                          G
open a door for me, what would it hurt?
             C                           F
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes,
  C                    G                           C    
these are the little things I need the most in my life.

2. Now the days have grown to years of feelin' all alone,
         C                  G                 F           - G
    and she can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong.
            a                G        C                F
    'cause lately she tried anything      to turn his head,
G                    F                 C    - d
    would it make a difference if she said :

+ REFRAIN 
             a                       G
    And the more that he lives, the less that he tries,
         F                     C
    to show her the love that he holds inside.
             a                        G
    And the more that she gives, the more that he sees,
      F                                 - - - G
    this is the story of you - and me.
