       Gm              A#
To be real is to understand
            D#               Cm         Dm
When I had you I was not completely in tune
Gm
'Cause I was blind, I let you drift away
A#
I didn't give you enough to stay
D#
So you made up my mind
                Cm
And you walked away

Chorus:
      F        A#
And why didn't I
                       F   D#
Hold you tighter than tighter?
                     Gm
When I could do no wrong
                         F  D#
It's getting harder and harder
           A#
Why didn't I
                       F D#
Hold you tighter than tighter?
                    Gm
How could I be so wrong?
     F         D#
You can't hold on
                     A#
To what is already gone
            F  D#
Come back, baby

Don't be strong
Don't let it go
Cause are you out there
With someone else
Are you telling him no
Cause I could be
Your shelter from the rain
Come inside now
Not gonna give you pain
Cause I made up my mind, I walk away

Chorus:
And why didn't I
Hold you tighter than tighter
When I could do no wrong
It's getting harder and harder
Why didn't I
Hold you tighter than tighter
How could i be so wrong
You can't hold on
To what is already gone
Come back baby

And why?
Oh, why won't you believe in me?
Why?
Oh, why won't you believe in me?

Chorus:
Why didn't I
Hold you tighter than tighter
When i could do no wrong
It's getting harder and harder
Why didn't I
Hold you tighter than tighter
How could i be so wrong
You can't hold on to what is already gone
Ooo Ooo Ooo
Come back baby
