I Wonder Why
Curtis Stigers

Intro  Am  F  G  G7  Dm  F  G7  F  Dm  F  G  G7

C         G           F        G  C    notes C B A
Love is a hunger that burns in my soul
Am              F          C    notes E F B
  But you never notice the pain
F          C           F         G  C
Love is an anchor that won`t let me go
Dm             G                C       F
I reach out to hold you but you push me away
        Bb                 G
And you always convince to stay
      G7            Dm           F            G
And I wonder why we hold on with tears in our eyes
      F                     Dm            F             G7
And I wonder why we have to break down to make things alright
      F            Dm            F        G
And I wonder why I can`t seem to tell you goodbye
                  G7
Yeah I wonder why

I`m no angel
        F    G  C     (optional notes C B A)
With my selfish pride
Am                F          C    notes E F B
   But I love you more every day
F          C
Love is an anger
     F         G C
That builds up inside
       Dm          G
As the tears of frustration

Roll down my face

Why does love always have to turn
