Dmaj7 
Look at us baby, up all night  
Gmaj7 
Tearing our love apart  
Dmaj7           
Aren't we the same two people who live  
        Gmaj7 
through years in the dark?  
F#7/sus4  F#7 
Ahh...  
Bm                  A/B 
Every time I try to walk away  
Gmaj7                   F#7sus         F#7 
Something makes me turn around and stay 
       Bm                  A/B | G    F#m7 | 
And I   can't tell you why  
 
When we get crazy,  
it just ain't to right,  
(try to keep you head, little girl)  
Girl, I get lonely, too  
You don't have to worry  
Just hold on tight  
(don't get caught in your little world)  
'Cause I love you  
 
Bm                        A/B 
Nothing's wrong as far as I can see

We'll make it harder than it has to be

   And I can't tell you why  
          Gmaj7            F#7/sus4  F#7 
no, baby, I can't tell you why

     I can't tell you why
