 D                              G             D 
Mama told me "Don't be hasty!" Daddy said to wait. 
 D                         A 
"You got your whole life ahead." 
    G                A 
But in you walk and down I fall 
  D         D/C# Bm            G                   A            D 
Forget about my Ma and Pa and I don't think that I'll get over it 

    D                           G             D 
It takes a certain somebody to feed a hungry heart 
     D                     A 
and try to toss it to the wind. 
   G                  A             D            D/C# Bm                 
I spread my wings to soar away and flew just like a rock they say 
    G              A            D 
and I been sinkin deeper ever since. 


            G                                D 
Why did you go? Why did you go? Why did you leave me all alone? 
 G                    D    A 
What am I supposed to do? 
           G               D            G                     D 
Why is it always give and take when it comes to hearts that break? 
            G            A                Bm 
Why did you go why do I still wait up for you? 
            G            A                D 
Why did you go why do I still wait up for you? 
  

  D                          G                D 
Before I heard you say it I might even have agreed. 
      D                      A 
That ship was headed out to sea. 
      G                 A         
But "goodbye" made me change my mind. 
 D           D/C#  Bm 
Who wants to get left behind? 
     G                A                 D 
I'm pretty sure that you're the one for me. 


            G                                D 
Why did you go? Why did you go? Why did you leave me all alone? 
 G                    D    A 
What am I supposed to do? 
           G               D            G                     D 
Why is it always give and take when it comes to hearts that break? 
            G            A                Bm 
Why did you go why do I still wait up for you? 
            G            A                D 
Why did you go why do I still wait up for you? 


Bm                  Bm/Bb 
Oh what a curse that you left me first, 
           D                      Bm/G#  
turned my indifferent heart into Shakespeare with words. 
     G                               A 
Who knew there'd be so many ways to say "I miss you". 
     Bm                   Bm/Bb 
and when I think clearer I bet you I'll say 
   D                          Bm/G#                G    
I didn't really like you that much anyway til you left me. 
                 Gm 
Still why'd you leave me?  


Break: Bm  Bm/Bb  D  Bm/G#  G Gm  D 


            G                                D 
Why did you go? Why did you go? Why did you leave me all alone? 
G                     D    A 
What am I supposed to do? 
           G               D            G                     D 
Why is it always give and take when it comes to hearts that break? 
            G            A                Bm  Bm/G# 
Why did you go why do I still wait up for you? 
            G                 A                D 
Why did you go I don't think I'll wait up for you.
