[Verse 3]
G Em
Why do you come here,
Cadd9 G
When you know I've got troubles e - nough?
Em Cadd9 G
Why do you call me, when you know I can't answer the phone?
[Chorus]
D Cadd9
You make me lie, and I don't want to,
D D/F# G
And make someone else some kind of un - knowing fool,
D Cadd9
You make me stay, when I should not,
D D/F# G
Are you so strong, or is all the weakness in me?
[Verse 4]
Em Cadd9 G
Why do you come here, and pre - tend to be just passing by?
D C D G
But I mean to see you,
^ ^ ^ ^
D C D G D G
And I mean to hold you ...ti---ght - ly!

G Dsus2 D Em Cadd9
Feeling guilty, worried, waking from tormented sleep,
G D Cadd9 G
This old love has me bound, but the new love cuts deep,

If I choose now, I'll lose out, one of you has to fall,
G D Dsus4 C
And I need you, and you!
