Marvin Gaye - Ain’t That Peculiar

[Intro]
E7

[Verse 1]
E
Honey you do me wrong but still I’m crazy about you
E
Stay away too long and I can’t do without you
A
Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more
E A E
But each hurt makes my love stronger than before
B
I know flowers go through rain
A
But how can love go through pain

[Chorus]
E
Ain’t that peculiar
E
A peculiar-ality
E
Ain’t that peculiar baby
E A
Peculiar as can be

[Verse 2]
E
You tell me lies that should be obvious to me
E
I’ve been so much in love with you baby ’till I don’t wanna see
A
That things you do and say are designed to make me blue
E
It’s a doggone shame my love for you makes all
E
Your lies seem true
B
But if the truth makes love last longer
A
Why do lies make my love stronger (stronger, stronger, stronger)

[Chorus]
E
Ain’t that peculiar
E
A peculiar-ality
E
Ain’t that peculiar baby
E A E
A peculiar-arity, hey, hey

[Interlude]
E B A E

[Verse 3]
E
I cried so much just like a child that’s lost its toy
E
Maybe baby you think these tears I cry are tears of joy
A
A child can cry so much until you do everything they say
E
But unlike a child my tears don’t help me to get my way
B
I know love can last through years
A
But how can love last through tears (tears, tears, tears)

[Chorus]
E A
Now ain’t that peculiar baby?
E A
Peculiar-arity
E A
Ain’t it peculiar, honey?
E A
Peculiar as can be

[Outro]
E A
Said I don’t understand it baby
E A
It’s so strange sometimes
E A
Ain’t it peculiar, darling?
