"Why Do I Cry"
(Barry Tashian)
Intro: C7#9 F Gm F [3X]
Verse 1:
C7#9 F Gm F
I would lose all my blues if you promise that your love was
C7#9 F Gm F
true now
C7#9 F Gm F C7#9 F Gm F
And I don't know why I keep lovin' you the way I do now
Dm Am
'Cause you leave me alone
Dm Am
To cry on my own
Dm Am F G
I swear you got a heart that's made of stone
F G
Made of stone
Verse 2:
And I don't know why I keep lovin' you the way I do
But I do now
I cry, you know why, I would die if you left me again
The tears and the years would have all surely been in vain, now
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/r/remains/16045.html ]
But you keep on leavin' me alone
To cry on my own
I swear you got a heart that's made of stone
