Capo 3

Intro:
D G D

Verse 1:
                                          G
Your suitcase is gone, with all of your things
                            A    D
Our old picture frames are empty
                                            G
I burned all your letters, I took off your ring
                                A
But what can I do with these memories
Em                      A                             G
Keeping me up 'til the dawn, hanging on like you're coming back
                G
But you ain't coming back

Chorus:
            D
So tell me why, baby, why, baby
                                    G
Why, baby, why won't you let me let go?
   D
I try, baby, try, baby, try
                                    G
But your love just won't leave me alone
         Em
I can't stop the hurt, numb the pain
 A
Cool the burn, kill the ache
D                       Em
No matter how hard that I
            A7 A
Cry, baby, cry
            D
Why, baby, why?

Verse 2:
                                 G
I close my eyes when I kiss his lips
                          A      D
Praying this time I won't see you
                                    G
I'm real good at lying to everyone else
                          A
But I just can't lie to myself
          Em                      A
When the truth is a shadow that follows me
             G
Haunting me just like a ghost, if you're just a ghost

Chorus:
            D
So tell me why, baby, why, baby
                                    G
Why, baby, why won't you let me let go?
   D
I try, baby, try, baby, try
                                    G
But your love just won't leave me alone
         Em
I can't stop the hurt, numb the pain
 C
Cool the burn, kill the ache
D                       Em
No matter how hard that I
            A7 A
Cry, baby, cry
            D
Why, baby, why?

Bridge:
A
I saw your taillights fade into the dark
 C                                                   D
And my head knows but there's no convincing my heart

Chorus:
    D
Oh why, baby, why, baby
                                     G
Why, baby, why won't you let me let go?
   D
I try, baby, try, baby, try
                                   G
But your love just won't leave me alone
         Em
I can't stop the hurt, numb the pain
 C
Cool the burn, kill the ache
D                       Em
No matter how hard that I
            A7 A
Cry, baby, cry
                 G
You know that I cry
            D
Why, baby, why?
            G   D
Why, baby, why?
