Back To Back
View chords used in this chart
C F C
We should be happy just the way we are
F C G7
We got a brand new house with a circle drive and a fancy car
C F C
But furs and diamonds and a Cadillac
F C G7 C
Don’t mean a thing when you’re sleeping back to back
F C
You look at your wall I stare at mine
F C G7
But we never really seem to say what’s on our mind
C F C
We don’t talk things over we ignore the facts
F C G7 C
That our love can’t live when it’s sleeping back to back
F C
When I fell in love with you you didn’t have a dime
F C G7
But we spent our nights making love not marking time
C F C
And I’d trade this mansion for a run down shack
F C G7 C
And a man who don’t believe in sleeping back to back
F C
You look at your wall I stare at mine
F C G7
But we never really seem to say what’s on our mind
C F C
We don’t talk things over we ignore the facts
F C G7 C
That our love can’t live when it’s sleeping back to back
