(C)Tell me (F)why

you cried,

and why you (C7)lied

to (F)me.

(C7)Tell me (F)why

you cried,

and why you (C7)lied

to (F)me.

Well, I gave you ev ’ry thing I (Dm7)had,

but you (Gm7)left me sit ting on my own.

Did you have to treat me oh, so bad?

All I (Gm7)do is hang my head and my moan.

Tell me (F)why

you cried,

and why you (C7)lied

to (F)me.

(C7)Tell me (F)why

you cried,

and why you (C7)lied

to (F)me.

If it’s some thing that I’ve said or (Dm7)done,

tell me (Gm7)what, and I’ll a pol o gize.

If you don’t, I real ly can’t go on

hold ing (Gm7)back is these my tears in my eyes.

Tell me

Tell me (F)why

you cried,

and why you (C7)lied

to (F)me.

(C7)Tell me (F)why

you cried,

and why you (C7)lied

to (F)me.

Well, I (Bb)beg you on my bend ed knees, if you’ll (C7)on ly lis ten to my pleas.

Is there (Dm)an y thing I can do,

’cause I (Gm)real ly can’t stand it, I’m so in love with (F)you.

(C7)Tell me (C7)lied

to (Dm)me.
