verse 1 

                                          G 
Your suitcase is gone, with all of your things 
                            A    D 
Our old picture frames are empty 
                                            G 
I burned all your letters, I took off your ring 
                                A 
But what can I do with these memories 
Em                      A                             G 
Keeping me up 'til the dawn, hanging on like you're coming back 
                G 
But you ain't coming back 



            D 
So tell me why, baby, why, baby 
                                    G 
Why, baby, why won't you let me let go? 
   D 
I try, baby, try, baby, try 
                                    G 
But your love just won't leave me alone 
         Em 
I can't stop the hurt, numb the pain 
 A 
Cool the burn, kill the ache 
D                       Em  
No matter how hard that I 
            A7 A 
Cry, baby, cry 
            D 
Why, baby, why? 


verse 2 

                                 G 
I close my eyes when I kiss his lips 
                          A      D 
Praying this time I won't see you 
                                    G 
I'm real good at lying to everyone else 
                          A 
But I just can't lie to myself 
          Em                      A 
When the truth is a shadow that follows me 
             G 
Haunting me just like a ghost, if you're just a ghost 

 

            D 
So tell me why, baby, why, baby 
                                    G 
Why, baby, why won't you let me let go? 
   D 
I try, baby, try, baby, try 
                                    G 
But your love just won't leave me alone 
         Em 
I can't stop the hurt, numb the pain 
 C 
Cool the burn, kill the ache 
D                       Em  
No matter how hard that I 
            A7 A 
Cry, baby, cry 
            D 
Why, baby, why? 


Bridge 

A 
I saw your taillights fade into the dark 
 C                                                   D 
And my head knows but there's no convincing my heart 



    D    
Oh why, baby, why, baby 
                                     G 
Why, baby, why won't you let me let go? 
   D 
I try, baby, try, baby, try 
                                   G 
But your love just won't leave me alone 
         Em  
I can't stop the hurt, numb the pain 
 C 
Cool the burn, kill the ache 
D                       Em  
No matter how hard that I 
            A7 A 
Cry, baby, cry 
                 G 
You know that I cry 
            D 
Why, baby, why? 
            G   D 
Why, baby, why?
