G    Em        C
Tell me, just one more time,
     D              G     Em
The reasons why you must leave.
C                     D                     G    Em
Tell me once more why you're sure you don't need me.
C                   D                      G        Em   C  D
Tell me again, but don't think that you'll convince me.

    G       Em           C               D
Now you've said, before falling in love again
             G  Em
You'd rather be dead.
             C                   D
'Cause when someone breaks your heart
             G     Em
You cry your eyes red.
             C               D                   G     Em    C   D
But there's nothin' so hard about the life that you've lead

    C            A              D              G
As far as I can see there's no reason for "goodbyes."
C                    A                 D
You're just running scared and that's something I won't buy.

   G    Em
So you lose
  C                      D                  G    Em
I won't let you go with nothing to show but more blues.
     C                   D                  G   Em
And all this talk about leavin' is strictly bad news.
   C                    D                      G    Em   C  D
So you settle down and stay with the man that loves you.
