You're the Reason Why
The Rubettes
Sign of the Times 1976
The things you sCay don't always hFurt me
But things you Cdo don't always make me Amcry
The things you Cdo   E7they don't always hAmurt meD  
But when they hFurt me yBbou're the reason wChy
The things you do are without reason
The things for me to do is let it lie
But when I lie the pain ain't easin'
You know the reason you're the reason why
Sometimes I'm Amup sometimes I'm dEmown
Sometimes I dFmon't know where I'm going anyCway
Sometimes I fAmeel just like a cEmlown
And I dFmon't know where I'm going
And I jBbust don't know the wGay
The things you say don't always hurt me
But things you do don't always make me cry
The things you do   they don't always hurt me
But when they hurt me you're the reason why
Sometimes I'm up...
