Chorus:
D Bm7 Em7
Tell me why you cried,
A7 D Bm7 Em7 A7
and why you lied to me
D Bm7 Em7
Tell me why you cried,
A7 D Bm7 Em7 A7
and why you lied to me
D Bm7
Well I gave you everything I had
Em7 A7
But you left me sitting on my own
D Bm7
Did you have to treat me oh so bad
Em7 A7
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, I really can't go on
Holding back these tears in my eyes
Chorus
Well, I'm begging on my bended knees
If you'll only listen to my pleas
If there's anything I can do
Then I really can't stand it,
I'm so in love with you, oh | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA7 ![]() Bm7 ![]() D ![]() Em7 ![]() Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
