(sacrifices...)
Sacrifices I will make
I'm ready to give as well as take
One thing I need is your respect
One thing I can't take is your neglect
G7sus4 [guitar plays D5: xx023x]
More than anything, I need your love
T[G7]hen troubles are easy to rise above

I'm beggin' oh, no, don't bring me down, oh no no
Baby, please, oh no, no, don't bring me down
