[Verse 1]
                      G        Dsus2   D
I'm not the sort of person who falls...
   Em                          Cadd9
...In and quickly out of love--------,
        G                   D                      C
But to you I gave my af - fection right from the start!

[Verse 2]
           G       Dsus2      D
I have a lover who loves me,
Em                       Cadd9
How could I break such a heart?
       G                        D    Dsus4
Yet, still you gained my at -tention!

[Verse 3]
G                   Em
   Why do you come here,
          C                           G
When you know I've got troubles e - nough?
                Em            C                        G
Why do you call me, when you know I can't answer the phone?


[Chorus]
             D              Cadd9
You make me lie, and I don't want to,
                  D                       D/F#   G
And make someone else some kind of un - knowing fool,
             D            Cadd9
You make me stay, when I should not,
             D                           D/F#  G
Are you so strong, or is all the weakness in  me?
                 Em              C                      G
Why do you come here, and pre - tend to be just passing by?
               D   C   D  G
But I mean to see you,
               ^   ^   ^  ^
               D    C    D   G    D    G
And I mean to hold you   ...ti---ght - ly!
               ^    ^    ^   ^    ^    ^

[Verse 3]
           G     Dsus2   D     Em                  Cadd9
Feeling guilty, worried,     waking from tormented sleep,
      G                     D                          C   G
This old love has me bound,     but the new love cuts deep,
      G               Dsus2     D   Em                Cadd9
If I choose now, I'll lose out,     one of you has to fall,
        G            D   Dsus4    C
And I need you, and you!


[Verse 4]
G                   Em
   Why do you come here,
          C                           G
When you know I've got troubles e - nough?
                Em            C                        G
Why do you call me, when you know I can't answer the phone?


[Chorus]
             D              Cadd9
You make me lie, and I don't want to,
                  D                      D/F#    G
And make someone else some kind of un - knowing fool,
             D            Cadd9
You make me stay, when I should not,
             D                           D/F# G
Are you so strong, or is all the weakness in  me?
                 Em              C                      G
Why do you come here, and pre - tend to be just passing by?
               D   C   D  G
And I need to see you,
               ^   ^   ^  ^
               D    C    D   G    D    G
And I need to hold you   ...ti---ght - ly!
               ^    ^    ^   ^    ^    ^
