Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna be with you baby
In everything you've done
Even though you've stopped the sun from shining
Well I tried my best, but it may not be enough
And times have been so tough, that I can't tell you
What can you say to accuse me
You know you're gonna use me
I guess I'll always feel the same
Oh, when will we be together
In this crazy world we're in?
Is it really such a sin to love you?
Well I've tried my best, but it may not be enough
And times have been so tough that I can't tell you
What can you say to accuse me
When you know that I'm not to blame?
You know you're gonna use me
Guess I'll always feel the same
What can you say to accuse me
When you know I'm not to blame?
You know you're gonna use me
I guess I'll always feel the same
Oh, when will we be together
In this crazy world we're in?
Is it really such a sin to love you?
Well I tried my best, but it may not be enough
But times have been so tough that I can't tell you

Buckinghams unusual guitar style is so important to so many Fleetwood Mac songs, this is a prime example
cbbuntz
It almost has an African feel on this song.

scott norton
He doesn't play the chords that are taught in the many Youtube guitar videos on this song except I believe at the very beginning. In addition those videos don't even try to address the mandolin type style he plays at the overture and the break. He is a genius.
Johanna del Busto
I want to know what kind/brand of guitar is it, Leslie is an exceptional guitarist for sure.

@scott norton He used to play banjo (5 string) and that is where his style originates.
