[Intro]
G Em C G
[Verse]
G D Em C
I'm not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love
G D C G
But to you I gave my affection right from the start
G D Em C
I have a lover who loves me, how could I break such a heart
G D C G
Yet still you gained my attention
[Chorus]
Em C G
Why do you come here when you know I've got trouble enough
Em C G
Why do you call me when you know I can't answer the phone
D C
You make me lie and I don't want to
D G
You make someone else some kind of unknowing fool
D C
You make me stay when I should not
D G
Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me
Em C G
Why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by
D C D G
But I need to see you
D C D G D G
And I need to hold you, tightly
G Em C G
[Verse]
G D Em C
Feeling guilty, worried, waking from tormented sleep
G D C G
This old love has bound but the new love cuts deep

if I choose now, I'll lose out, one of you has to fall
G D C G
But I need you, and you.
[Chorus]

Why do you come here when you know I've got trouble enough

Why do you call me when you know I can't answer the phone

You make me lie and I don't want to
D G
You make someone else some kind of unknowing fool
D C
You make me stay when I should not

Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me

Why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by
