Dmaj7
Look at us baby up all night
Gmaj7
Tearing our love apart
Dmaj7
Aren't we the same two people who lived
        Gmaj7            F#7sus4 F#7
Through years in the dark?

Chorus:
Bm                   A 
Every time I try to walk away
Gmaj7                    F#7sus4   F#7
something makes me turn around and stay
Bm                    A 
And I can't tell you why.

When we get crazy
It just ain't right
(Try to keep your head, little girl)
Girl, I get lonely, too
You don't have to worry
Just hold on tight
(Don't get caught in your little world)
Cause I love you

Chorus:
Nothing's wrong as far as I can see
We make it harder than it has to be
And I can't tell you why no baby

Gmaj7            F#7sus4 F#7
I can't tell you why.....
Gmaj7            F#m7
I can't tell you why

Chorus:
Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay
And I can't tell you why
No, baby, I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
