C#m                            G#m
Girl, the way you broke my heart
                                    F#m  A G# C#m
It shattered like a rock through a window
C#m                     G#m
I thought we had it so good
                       F#m  A G#
Never really saw this comin'

Chorus:
C#m                        B
Oh, why you got to be so cold?
                      F#m
Why you got to go and cut me like a knife
     A              G#7
And put our love on ice?
C#m                              B
Oh, girl you know you left this hole
                               F#m
Right here in the middle of my soul
       A   G#7                  C#m
Oh oh oh, why you got to be so cold?

What am I supposed to say
If anybody asks me about you?
I guess I'll tell 'em I'm without you
How am I supposed to live
When I built my life around you?
Try to put yourself in my shoes

Chorus:
Oh, why you got to be so cold?
Why you got to go and cut me like a knife
And put our love on ice?
Oh, girl, you know you left this hole
Right here in the middle of my soul
Oh-oh, oh, why you got to be so cold?

                                B
I can only feel my love hangin' on
G#m       B            A
I don't feel like it's over
                 G#7
I'm still on fire.
Why you gotta be so... ?

Chorus:
Oh, why you got to be so cold?
Why you got to go and cut me like a knife
And put our love on ice?
Oh, girl, you know you left this hole
Right here in the middle of my soul
Oh-oh, oh, why you got to be so cold?

Why you got to be so cold?
Why you got to be so cold?
You got to be so cold
