• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

♫ Intro:

C   G   Am   Em


♫ Verse:
 C
How many times
                        G
Will I take this rollercoaster ride
                           Am
Make myself sick before I realize
                Em
I can just step off?

     C
And how many nights
                           G
Will I keep driving on an empty tank
                          Am
Every mile I go a little more insane
                    Em
When I can make it stop?

P♫ Pre-Chorus:
        C                    G             D
When I love you rolls right off your tongue
      C                  G      D
I forget your mouth's a loaded gun


♫ Chorus:
                                   C
Yeah, baby, you're the reason I'm crazy
                             G
And lately you're the reason I cry
                              Am
And you're the only reason I hate me
                               Em
And love you at the same damn time

                           C
Oh, how do you keep me so hopeless
                                 G
And somehow believe that you'll change?
                                 Am   Em    D
'Cause you're the only reason I ever wanna leave

                             C
And, baby, you're the reason I stay


♫ Verse:
             C
When you're good, it's so fun
                           G
And holding you is like a last of the sun
                                  Am
But then you drop me down when I ain't got a parachute
                            Em
Falling from the cloud that you just sent me to


♫ Chorus:
                                 C
And baby, that's the reason I'm crazy
                             G
And lately you're the reason I cry
                              Am
And you're the only reason I hate me
                               Em
And love you at the same damn time

                           C
Oh, how do you keep me so hopeless
                                 G
And somehow believe that you'll change?
                                 Am   Em    D
'Cause you're the only reason I ever wanna leave

                             C               G
And, baby, you're the reason I stay-ayyyy-ay-ay

             Am      Em
Oh, I wanna walk away
             D
But I can't walk away


♫ Break:
                                 C         G
And baby, that's the reason I'm crazy, mm mmm
                           Am
Baby that's the  reason I hate me
                             D
For loving you all the damn time


♫ Chorus:
                           C
Oh, how do you keep me so hopeless
                                 G
And somehow believe that you'll change?
                                Am   Em    D
Cause you're the only reason I ever wanna leave

                             C           G
And, baby, you're the reason I stay, mm mmm
                       Am     EM
You're the only reason I stay
