Sometimes i strum this song, and sometimes i finger pick it, depending on my mood. Intro: G Em C G G D Em C I'm not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love G D C G 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 G And I need to hold you, tightly G Em C G G D Em C Feeling guilty, worried, waking from tormented sleep G D C G 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. Repeat chorus G Em C G
