Chorus:
          D Bm        G             A       D Bm A
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me,
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me.

        D
Well I gave you ev'rything I had,
         Bm                   A
But you left me sitting on my own,
Did you have to treat me oh so bad,
All I do is hang my head and moan.

Chorus

If there's something I have said or done,
Tell me what and I'll apologize,
If you don't really can't go on,
Holding back these tears in my eyes.

Chorus

       G
Well I beg you on my bended knees,
          A
If you'll only listen to my pleas,
         Bm
Is there anything I can do,
          G
'cause I really can't stand it,
     A               D
I'm so in love with you.
