Verse:
[A]Why does she sing[D] her sad songs for [A]me? I'm not the[A] one
[A]to tenderly bring[D] her soft sympathy.[A] I've just beg[A]un
[E]to see me way clear and its [E]plain if I stop I should [A]fall.[A]
[E]I can lay down a tear for he[E]r pain, just a tear and that'[A]s all.[A]
Pre-chorus:
[D]What does she want me to [A]do? S[D]he says that she knows
[E]these moments are rare, I supp[A]ose that it's true.[A]
[D]Then on she goes to[E] say I don't care, ah, she k[A]nows that I do.[A]
Chorus:
[E]Maybe she just has to sin[E]g for the sake of the so[A]ng[A]
E E A(back to intro)
And who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrong?
Repeat and enjoy.
