Intro
[G] [Em] [C] [G]
Verse
I'm not the sort of [G]person who [D]falls [Em]in and quickly out of [C]love
But to [G]you I gave my [D]affection right from the [C]start
I have a [G]lover who [D]loves me, [Em]how could I break such a [C]heart
Yet [G]still you gained my [D][C]attention[G]
Chorus
Why do you [Em]come here when you [C]know I've got trouble [G]enough
Why do [Em]you call me when you know[C] I can't answer the [G]phone
You make me [D]lie and I don't [C]want to
You make someone [D]else some kind of unknowing [G]fool
You make me [D]stay when I [C]should not
Are you so [D]strong or is all the weakness in [G]me
Why do you [Em]come here and [C]pretend to be just passing [G]by
But I need to [D]see [C][D]you[G]
And I need to [D]hold [C]you, [D] [G]tightly[D]
[G] [Em] [C] [G]
Verse
Feeling [G]guilty, [D]worried, [Em]waking from tormented [C]sleep
This [G]old love has [D]bound but the new love cuts [C]deep
if I [G]choose now, I'll [D]lose out, [Em]one of you has to [C]fall
But I need [G]you, and [D][C]you.[G]
Chorus
Why do you [Em]come here when you [C]know I've got trouble [G]enough
Why do you [Em]call me when you [C]know I can't answer the [G]phone
You make me [D]lie and I don't [C]want to
You make [D]someone else some kind of unknowing [G]fool
You make me [D]stay when I [C]should not
Are you so [D]strong or is all the weakness in [G]me
Why do you [Em]come here and [C]pretend to be just passing [G]by
