T1: Robert Bidois, TandRBidois@xtra.co.nz, Lauryn Hill, Ex Factor, From
the album "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill", released 1998.

Verse 1: (Only two chords, Abm to Gb)

  Abm               F#                       Abm                         F#
      It could all be so simple,                but you’d rather make it hard
Abm                  F#                         Abm               F#    
      Loving you is like a battle,              and we both end up scarred
Abm                   F#                      Abm              F#
      Tell me who I have to be,         to get some reciprocity
Abm               F#                             Abm          F#
      No one loves you more than me,        and no one ever will

Verse 2: (Same chords as verse 1)

Is this just a silly game, that forces you to act this way
Forces you to scream my name, then pretend that you can’t stay
Tell me who I have to be, to get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me, and no one ever will

Hook: 
        Bbm                   D7        Ebm
No matter how I think we grow, you always seem to let me know
        Abm               Ebm
It ain’t workin, It ain’t workin
           Bbm                  Am        Abm    
And when I try to walk away, you hurt yourself to make me stay
            B              Ebm
This is crazy, This is crazy


Verse 3: (Same chords as other verses)
 
I keep letting you back in, how can I explain myself
As painful as this thing has been, I just can’t be with no one else
See I know what we’ve got to do, you let go and I’ll let go too
‘Cause no one loves you more than me, and no one ever will

REPEAT HOOK

Outro: (Same Chords as Hook)

Care for me, care for me, I know you care for me
There for me, there for me, Said you’d be there
Cry for me, cry for me, You said you’d die for me
Give to me, give to me, Why don’t you live for me

REPEAT OUTRO

SOLO (Same chords as Outro, just solo in Ebm)I'm tabbing from memory
with no guitar, so I

REPEAT OUTRO WHILE FADING OUT...
