G             C  G    G            C               F               G 
Try to see it my way. Do I have to keep on talking 'til I can't go on 
G                C    G 
While you see it your way 
G               C                F                 G 
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone 
C              G    C              D 
We can work it out, we can work it out 
 

G                    C  G 
Think of what you're saying 
G                C                   F                   G 
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right 
G                 C  G 
Think of what I'm saying 
G              C                F                 G 
We can work it out and get it straight or say goodnight 
C              G    C              D 
We can work it out, we can work it out 
 
(Chorus:) 
Em                                Am   B 
Life is very short and there's no time 
B               Em          D  C  D 
For fussing and fighting my friend 
Em                                Am    B 
I have always thought that it's a crime 
B         Em      D     C    D 
So I will ask you once again 
 

G             C  G 
Try to see it my way 
G              C            F             G 
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong 
G                C    G 
While you see it your way 
G                     C              F               G 
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long 
C              G    C              D 
We can work it out, we can work it out 
 
(Chorus) 
 

G             C  G    G            C               F               G 
Try to see it my way. Do I have to keep on talking 'til I can't go on 
G                C    G 
While you see it your way 
G               C                F                 G 
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone 
C              G    C              G 
We can work it out, we can work it out
