Capo 4

           D                   D7          G
What makes something you can't have always look so good
       D                              A
Why do something out of reach seem so fine
     D                   D7            G 
What makes you thrill me more than any girl I know
  D                 A                  D
I guess it's just because you can't be mine


Chorus:
    A                         D      G        D  
Why can't I be contented with what belongs to me
       D    G         D               A 
And be satisfied with what's already mine
     D              D7            G 
What makes a stolen moment such a precious thing
  D                  A                 D 
I guess it's just because you can't be mine


What makes me always want a woman I can't have
Why the someone else's silver always shine
My patience rises every time you come around
And I guess it's just because you can't be mine.

Chorus
