Why do I love you

I give myself away
A E F#m E
I had it coming
A E F#m A7
For holding on to nothing

Oh knowing you won't change
D E A A7
You'll never feel the same
Bm A E
Oh but I'm so weak

I've lost my strength

To fight such a liar

That's filled me with desire

I'm dying just to kiss you

I give myself away

I don't want to give myself away
