 D             G     G9    G     D         Am7   D7  G
You've got to give a lit - tle,     take a lit - tle,

    G+7      G7          C       Cm     G
And let your poor heart break a little.

You've got to laugh a lit - tle,     cry a lit - tle,

  G+7      G7         C    Cm      G
Until the clouds roll by a little.

           G/F#  Em  D9             D7        G   Am7  D7  G   G+7  G7
That's the story of,    that's the glory of love.



Bridge:

    C      C/B        Am7    Am7/G  G 
As long as there's the two of us,

               D7                 G    G+7   G7
We've got the world and all it's charms.

     C        C/B      Cm7            A7
And when the world is through with us,

                        D7   D+
We've got each other's arms.


D             G      G9   G   D        Am7   D7   G
You've got to win a lit - tle,  lose a lit - tle,

Yes, and always have the blues a little.

That's the story of,    that's the glory of love.

   That's the story of,
