For Pete's Sake

D A7 D
Will she tell me once again she's got a headache
A7 D
Or that she's just too tired to stay awake
G D
If I touch her accidently when I'm sleepin'
G A7 D
Will she wake me up and say for Pete's sake
CHORUS:
G D
For Pete's sake she stays with me even though her love has died
G E7 A7
For Pete's sake she has done her best to keep me satisfied
D G
We just go on pretending even though our love is fake
A7 D
How much more can I take for Pete's sake
D A7 D
I can't blame her for the way she feels about me
A7 D
All those restless nights she's waited at the start
G D
I found out how much I needed her a little bit too late
G A7 D
But she only took me back for Pete's sake
CHORUS
G A7 D A7-D
How much more can I take for Pete's sake
