Reciprocal Obligations

 

|Bm      |A        |F#m    |G        |

|Bm      |A        |G  D* |A        |                       *Bm in verse3

 

It's hard to see the future when you're blinkered by the past

Weighed down by all that's gone before

Something that's is turmoil is never going to last

But don't be hasty heading for that exit door

 

It's hard to see the future when you're caught up in the heat

And there's conflict boiling up at every turn

But surely this uncertainty is something we can beat

Cos if we don't then very soon we'll self destruct and burn

 

|G        |D        |G        |D        |

We got reciprocal obligations

You've got to give as well as get

I'm trying hard so give me give half a yard

And we still could get there yet

We got reciprocal obligations

But it's not a one-way street

I'm trying to get the measure of the balance of your pleasure

We could solve this at our leisure

But I'm dying on my feet

 

There was a time that we were sure our love would never end

Twas something that we thought would grow and grow

What was it that soured it all and pushed us round the bend

How we can fix it's something that I'd surely like to know
