[Intro]

G Em C G

[Verse]

G D Em C

I'm not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love

G D C

But to you I gave my affection right from the start

G D Em C

I have a lover who loves me, how could I break such a heart

G D C G

Yet still you gained my attention

[Chorus]

Em C G

Why do you come here when you know I've got trouble enough

Em C G

Why do you call me when you know I can't answer the phone

D C

You make me lie and I don't want to

D G

You make someone else some kind of unknowing fool

D C

You make me stay when I should not

D G

Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me

Em C G

Why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by

D C D G

But I need to see you

D C D G D

And I need to hold you, tightly

G Em C G

[Verse]

G D Em C

Feeling guilty, worried, waking from tormented sleep

G D C

This old love has bound but the new love cuts deep

G D Em C

if I choose now, I'll lose out, one of you has to fall

G D C G

But I need you, and you.

[Chorus]

Em C G

Why do you come here when you know I've got trouble enough

Em C G

Why do you call me when you know I can't answer the phone

D C

You make me lie and I don't want to

D G

You make someone else some kind of unknowing fool

D C

You make me stay when I should not

D G

Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me

Em C G

Why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by

D C D G

But I need to see you

D C D G D

And I need to hold you, tightly

G Em C G
