             Cm  A#
There was a time,
       Fm        G#
There was a place
    Cm        A#
So tell me now,
 Fm               G#
Why'd you wake up with that look on your face?

Cm              A#
Don't you waste my time
Fm          G#
Let it go, let it go
Cm                   A#
And don't just stand in line
        Fm          G#
If you wanna lead, you can lead

Chorus:
Cm A#
Why
            G#                    Fm
If this is love, then why does it hurt so bad?
Cm A#
Why
           G#                   Fm
If this is over, then why do I want you back?

    Cm                         A#
So tell me that it's worth it cause
I'm going crazy here
G#                         Fm
(I just can't figure it out,
I just can't figure it out)
Cm A#
Why
            G#                    Fm
If this is love, then why does it hurt so bad?

There was a time, far away
And I wanna try, try to take us
Take us back to that place

So don't hold back for me
Let it out, just let it out
It's you I wanna see
So let it out and you can lead

Chorus

Ooh-ooh-woo, Ooh-ooh-woo, Ooh-ooh-woo
Why?
Ooh-ooh-woo, Ooh-ooh-woo, Ooh-ooh-woo
If this is love, then why does it hurt so bad?
