A E   F#m   E
Why    do I love you
A   E    F#m   A7
Why      do I love you
D  E             A  F#m
Oh I give myself away
D  E          A    E
I give myself away
A E  F#m     E
I     had it coming
A   E       F#m    A7
For holding on to nothing
D  E                  A   F#m
Oh knowing you won't change
D      E               A    A7 
You'll never feel the same
Bm     A       E
Oh but I'm so weak
Bm        A  E
I've lost my strength
Bm       A       E
To fight such a liar
Bm                    E
That's filled me with desire
A  E    F#m  E
Why     do I miss you
A E   F#m           A7       
I'm   dying just to kiss you
D E             A  F#m
  I give myself away
D E                           A    E
  I don't want to give myself away

Oh but I'm so weak
Bm        A  E 
I've lost my strength
Bm       A      E
To fight such a liar
Bm                    E
That's filled me with desire
A  E F#m  E
Why  do I love you
A   E F#m       A7     
Why   do I love you
D  E                A  F#m
   Oh I give myself away
D E                           A  F#m
  I don't want to give myself away
D        E    A                 F#m
Well I'd still give myself away
A   E    F#m       A
Why      do I love you
