Lyrics

They (C)said love hurts,

I (Cmaj7)wrote that book,

I (C)climbed that wall, I (F)had one look

but (C)you just came a round

to say hel lo.

The (C)streets were filled

with (Cmaj7)guil ty hearts

and (C)here was I right (F)from the start and

I lost ev ’ry thing

when I lost you.

So tell me (C)why

should I let you go?

Give me twen ty good rea sons,

I need to know,

yeah.

And (C)at that point

there (G)was no pain,

there (Am)was no sky, there (F)was no rain, for

all there was was you

and your sweet face.

But (C)life is life

and (G)things will change

like (Am)scenes up on an ac tor’s stage,

to (C)mor row comes to day

for all we know.

So tell me, ba by, (C)why

should I let you go?

Give me twen ty good rea sons

I need to know

yeah.

Give me twen ty good rea sons.

Give me twen ty good rea sons.

Give me twen ty good rea sons

to let you go.

So tell me, ba by, (C)why

should I let you go?

Give me twen ty good rea sons

I need to know

yeah.

Tell me, ba by,

Give me twen ty good rea sons.
