F                       Am     Dm
Switching into airplane mode again
                      A#       F
We're not alright but I'll pretend
                 Am          Dm
Press my cheek against the glass
                  A#     F
Just be good 'til I get back

                Am  Dm
The ground disappears
                 A#  F
I hold back the tears
                    Am       Dm
I check my phone to see your face
                C     A#
Staring back as if to say
                           C
Don't worry, you won't be lonely

Chorus:
F   Am/E      Dm      A#
Why won't you love me?
F   Am/E      Dm      C
Why won't you love me?
     A#
You imagine when you close your eyes
        C                      A#
You're with me on the other side
    Am Dm C       F
So why won't you love me?

Few drinks deep at a table for one
The place we like to go and you take yourself home again
Three missed calls at 2 A.M
You say you never heard, you're late to get to work and then

The time disappears
You hold back the tears
Your best girlfriend just got engaged
You say you can't wait and need to make a change
You told me, "It's so hard to be lonely"

Chorus:
Why won't you love me?
Why won't you love me?
We're together all alone tonight
So helpless from the other side
So why won't you love me?

F                                              Am
Can you tell me why, my love? Can you tell me why?
     Dm                     A#     F
Hold on to you and you hold on to me
                                               Am
Can you tell me why, my love? Can you tell me why?
     Dm                     A#
Hold on to you and you hold on to

Chorus:
Why won't you love me?
Why won't you love me?
You imagine when you close your eyes
You're with me on the other side
So why won't you love me?
