We Can Work It Out

By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
Made famous by the Beatles, made perhaps even better by Stevie Wonder
Rise Up Singing chapter: Hard Times and Blues, p.105

Verses: G - - / D F G / - - - / D F C / - G C D
Bridge: Em - - - C - B7 / - Em - - - ://

(I'm not sure I hold the chords in the bridge for the exact number of beats listed above, but if I don't, I expect the video will make everything clear.)

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

Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right
Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it straight or say good night
We can work it out, we can work it out

Bridge:
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again

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

Bridge (again):
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again

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