Chorus:
D Bm G A D Bm A
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me,
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me.
D
Well I gave you ev'rything I had,
Bm A
But you left me sitting on my own,
Did you have to treat me oh so bad,
All I do is hang my head and moan.
Chorus
If there's something I have said or done,
Tell me what and I'll apologize,
If you don't really can't go on,
Holding back these tears in my eyes.
Chorus
G
Well I beg you on my bended knees,
A
If you'll only listen to my pleas,
Bm
Is there anything I can do,
G
'cause I really can't stand it,
A D
I'm so in love with you.
Chorus
