VERSE
[A]I can't find a reason t[E/G#]o let go
Even t[F#m]hough you've found a [D]new love
And she's [F#m]what your dreams are m[D]ade of
[A]I can find a reason t[E/G#]o hang on
What went [F#m]wrong can be fo[D]rgiven
Without [F#m]you it ain't worth [D]living [A]alone
CHORUS
Some[E]times I [D]wake up [A]crying at [D]night
And [E]sometimes I [D]scream out your n[A]ame
What [E]right does she [D]have to [A]take you away
When [Bm]for so long [D]you were m[E]ine
VERSE 2
I took out all the pictures of our wedding day
It was a time of love and laughter
Happy ever after
But even those old pictures have begun to fade
Please tell me she's not real
And that you're really coming home to stay
CHORUS
Some[E]times I [D]wake up [A]crying at [D]night
And [E]sometimes I [D]scream out your n[A]ame
What [E]right does she [D]have to [A]take your heart away
When [Bm]for so long [D]you were m[E]ine[D]
BRIDGE
[G]I can give you [D/F#]two good reasons
To [F]show your love's not [C]blind
[A]He's two and she's [E/G#]four and you [F#m]know they [D]adore you
So [Bm]how can I t[A/C#]ell them y[D]ou've changed your m[E]ind
FINAL CHORUS (modulated to the key of B)
Somet[F#]imes I [E]wake up [B]crying at night
And [F#]sometimes I [E]scream out your [B]name
What [F#]right does she have t[E]o take your heart [B]away
When for [C#m]so long you were [E]mine[F#]
I r[C#m]emember when [E]you [F#]were min[B]e
