Marvin Gaye - Just To Keep You Satisfied

[Intro]

Ebmaj7 Eb C

[Verse 1]

Bm7
You were my wife, my life, my hopes and dreams.
Ebmaj7 Fm7 Gm7 Cm7
For you to understand what this means.
Bb7 Bbm7
I shall explain. I stood all the jealousy,
Bbm7
all the bitchin’, too. Yes, I’d forget it all
Eb7 Abmaj7
once in bed with you.
Gm Fm7 Bb
Oh darlin’, how could we end up like this?
Bb7 Ebmaj7
Oh baby, let me reminisce.

[Verse 2]

Bb7 Bb
Oh, and when we, ooh, we stop the hands of time,
Ebmaj7 Fm7 Gm7 Cm9
You set my soul on fire.
Bb
My one desire was to love you.
Bb7 Bb
and think of you with pride,
Bbm7 Eb9 Abmaj7 Gm7 Fm9
and keep you satisfied, oh baby, oh baby.
Bb11 Ebmaj9
We could not bear the mental strain.
Abmaj7 Gm7
Leave you, I never meant to.
Abmaj7 Fm9 Gm7
Now you see how much you hurt me, but…
Bb11
If you ever need me, I’ll be by your side,
Ebmaj7 Fm7 Gm7
though the many happy times we had,
Cm7
oh, can really never outweigh the bad.
Bb11
Oh, I never loved nobody like I love you, baby.

[Verse 3]

Bb7 Ebmaj9 Gm7
(Oh) It’s time for us to say farewell.
Fm7 Bb11 Ebmaj9
Farewell, my darlin’, maybe we’ll meet down the line.
Bb11 Bb9 Bbm7 Bb7
(Ooh baby) It’s too late for you and me,
Ebmaj7 Fm7
it’s too late for you and I.
Gm7 Cm7
Much too late for you to cry.
Bb13
It’s too late for you and me.
Bbm7 Bb7 Eb7
Much too late for you and I.
Bb7 Ebmaj7 Fm7
It’s too late for you and me,
Gm7
much too late for you to cry, baby.

[Outro]

Bb13
Oh, we tried, God knows we tried.
Ebmaj7 Fm7
Now it’s too late,
Gm9 Cm7
to live and love.
Bb13
Oh, it’s too late, baby,
Ebmaj7 Fm7
it’s too late for you and me.
Gm9 Cm7
Much too late for you to cry.
Bb11 Ebmaj7 Fm11
Oh, it’s much too late.
Gm9 Cm7 Bb11 Ebmaj7
Oh, well. All we can do, is we can both try to be happy…
