  			A                     C#m    E 
I can't find a reason to let go 
     F#m                   D 
Even though you've found a new love 
          F#m                  D 
And she's what your dreams are made of 
A                      C#m    E 
I can  find a reason to hang on 
          F#m             D 
What went wrong can be forgiven  
        F#m                 D      A 
Without you it ain't worth livin' alone 
    E       D       A    
Sometimes I wake up crying at night 
        E       D               A 
And sometimes I scream out your name 
     E              D       A 
What right does she have to take you away 
         Bm      D        E 
When for so long you were mine 
A 
I took out all the pictures of 
    C#m     E 
Our wedding day 
         F#m              D 
It was a time of love and laughter 
F#m         D 
Happy ever after 
A 
But even those old pictures have 
C#m      E 
Begun to fade 
       F#m               D 
Please tell me she's not real 
                F#m           D       A 
And that you're really coming home to stay 
   E       D        A 
Sometimes I wake up crying at night 
         E      D                A 
And sometimes I scream out your name 
     E              D       A 
What right does she have to take you heart away 
         Bm      D        E    D 
When for so long you were mine 
G              Bm        D 
I can give you two good reasons to 
F                   C 
Show you love's not blind 
     A             E            F#m 
He's two and she's four and you know 
     D 
They adore you 
   Bm                         D            E 
So how can I tell them you've changed your mind 
     F#     E       B 
Sometimes I wake up crying at night 
        F#      E               B 
And sometimes I scream out your name 
     F#             E       B 
What right does she have to take you heart away 
            C#m  E        F# 
When for so long you were mine 
  C#m           E        B 
I remember when you were mine
