By Johnny Respect Tabbed By Eric Exley Verse 1: D A I was wrong so please listen up B A G You're building up walls and I know it makes you feel tough D A Believe it or not I was trying to help B A G I was doing my best but I know I didn't do well CHORUS 1: D A G When we fight and I raise my voice at you D A G Are we arguing so we can't hear the words D A G I feel as if I'm all alone no one by my side A But I know (but I know) why you're in my life D-A-E*-G*-F#* (4X) Verse 2: D A A loose tongue cuts so deep B A G I leave it there even though I cause you to weep D A My big mouth causes a stir B A G She loses respect for me I lose it for her CHORUS 2: D A G Foolish words cause a mound of my distrust D A G Or so we really think that things might not work out D A G Cause we're born again by a love that's much deeper and much wider A But I know (but I know) why you're in my life D-A-E*-G*-F#* (4X) (CHORUS 1)
