G C
It must have been a awfull hurt that someone did to you
D G
That buildt a wall around your heart that I can't break through
C
I can't erase I can't replace the bitterness with sweet
D7 G
No I can't find my way behind your wall of memory
G C
If you want me why can't I keep you in love with me
D7 G
You say your mine but I'm not blind I know you wanna be
C
And when your holding me no sweeter love could ever be
D7 G
But when I'm gone somehow I can't keep you in love with me
SOLO
G C
The worst mistake that you could make the surest way to lose
D7 G
Would be to listen and believe the lies they tell to you
C
There is a way you can repay the one who let you down
D7 G
Let me repair your broken heart don't leave it on the ground
G C
If you want me why can't I keep you in love with me
D7 G
You say your mine and I'm not blind I know you wanna be
C
And when your holding me no sweeter love could ever be
D7 G
But when I'm gone somehow I can't keep you in love with me
Am D7 G
But when I'm gone somehow I can't keep you in love with me
