                                              [Don’t know ...]


VERSE
           D          Gm/D                D
Don't know why I'm surviving every lonely day
             A/D          G/D
When there's got to be no chance for me
              D          Gm/D                 D
My life would end and it doesn't matter how I cry
   A/D                 G/D                 A/D     
My tears of love are a waste of time, if I turn away


BRIDGE
     G                       Em
Am I strong enough to see it through
   G                    Em  G/A
Go crazy is what I will do

If I can't have you, I don't want nobody baby
     F#m                  Bm
If I can't have you ah ah ah – ah 
     Bm                      A
If I can't have you, I don't want nobody baby
     F#m                  Bm
If I can't have you ah ah ah – ah

Can't let go and it doesn't matter how I try

I gave it all so easily to you my love


BRIDGE
   G                           Em
To dreams that never will come true
     G                       Em
Am I strong enough to see it through
   G                    Em  G/A
