Chords with lyrics
These are the chords for the live be I release of the song.
I'm not sure if they work for the album version as well because I haven't tried but
I'm sure they're similar. Enjoy!

[Intro]
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
[Verse 1]
G+G
Your suitcase is gone, with all of your things
A augmentedA D MajorD
Our old picture frames are empty

I burned all your letters, I took off your ring

But you ain't coming back
[Chorus]
D MajorD
So tell me why, baby, why, baby

Why, baby, why won't you let me let go?
D MajorD
I try, baby, try, baby, try

But your love just won't leave me alone

No matter how hard that I
