NOTE: I believe this song is recorded in "the cracks" - between the Keys of B and C. 
When I capo the 4th fret and play in G, I can nearly match the recorded key. Please let me know if
you have any questions. 

Capo 4th Fret (to match recording)

Intro: (G) (G) 

SPOKEN (play G, Bm, C, then D7sus repeatedly): 
"You know sometimes in your life
You may find it hurts to be in love
Specially when you and the one you love
Already belong to somebody else
You're tied to her and I'm tied to him
And we don't wanna hurt either one of them
That's how it is"

When you're (G) married but not to each (Bm) other
You (C) gotta go home in the middle of the night
Try and pretend every things alright
(D7sus) But it ain't, no it ain't

When you're married but not to each other
Make believe that you've been good
Give your love to the one you should
But you can't, no you can't

  'Cause (C) you're tied to her and I'm tied to him
  We don't wanna hurt either one of them
  So (D7sus) what can you do, what can you do?

When you're married but not to each other
Ya gotta be careful everywhere you go
Tryin' to avoid everyone you know
'Cause people talk, you know they talk

When you're married but not to each other
You've gotta make up alibis
Hopin' they don't sound like lies
'Cause if you get caught, and ya might get caught

  (C) Hurry up and love him
  Hurry up and please him
  And when it gets right, you've got to (D7sus) leave him
  You better leave him

Interlude

  'Cause (C) you're tied to her and I'm tied to him
  We don't wanna hurt either one of them
  So (D7sus) what can you do, what can you do?

When you're (G) married but not to each (Bm) other

  (C) Hurry up and love him
  Hurry up and please him
  And when it gets right, you've got to (D7sus) leave him
  You better leave him
