Capo 3

[Intro]

D G D

[Verse 1]

Your suitcase is gone, with all of your things

A D

Our old picture frames are empty

I burned all your letters, I took off your ring

But what can I do with these memories

Em A G

Keeping me up 'til the dawn, hanging on like you're coming back

But you ain't coming back

[Chorus]

So tell me why, baby, why, baby

Why, baby, why won't you let me let go?

I try, baby, try, baby, try

But your love just won't leave me alone

I can't stop the hurt, numb the pain

Cool the burn, kill the ache

D Em

No matter how hard that I

A7 A

Cry, baby, cry

Why, baby, why?

[Verse 2]

I close my eyes when I kiss his lips

A D

Praying this time I won't see you

I'm real good at lying to everyone else

But I just can't lie to myself

Em A

When the truth is a shadow that follows me

Haunting me just like a ghost, if you're just a ghost

[Chorus]

So tell me why, baby, why, baby

Why, baby, why won't you let me let go?

I try, baby, try, baby, try

But your love just won't leave me alone

I can't stop the hurt, numb the pain

Cool the burn, kill the ache

D Em

No matter how hard that I

A7 A

Cry, baby, cry

Why, baby, why?

[Bridge]

I saw your taillights fade into the dark

C D

And my head knows but there's no convincing my heart

[Chorus]

Oh why, baby, why, baby

Why, baby, why won't you let me let go?

I try, baby, try, baby, try

But your love just won't leave me alone

I can't stop the hurt, numb the pain

Cool the burn, kill the ache

D Em

No matter how hard that I

A7 A

Cry, baby, cry

You know that I cry

Why, baby, why?

G D
