A                      C#m/G#     C#m/E
I can't find a reason, to     let go
     F#m                    D
Even though you found a new love,
          F#m                  D
And she's what your dreams are made of.
A                    C#/G#   C#m/E
I can find a reason, to hang on
          F#m              D
What went wrong can be for-given,
        F#m                D         A
Without you it ain't worth living, a-lone.

Chorus
    E       D       A         D
Sometimes I wake up cryin' at night,
        E       D               A
And sometimes I scream out your name.
     E              D       A    [2]  your heart away
What right does she have to take [1] you away?
         Bm      D        E
When for so long you were mine.

Verse
  A                C#m/G#          C#m/E
I took out all the pictures of our wedding day.
         F#m              D
It was a time of love and laughter,
F#m        D
happy ever after.
    A                             C#m/G#   C#m/E
But even those olds pictures have begun to fade,
       F#m               D
Please tell me she's not real,
         F#m                  D       A
And that you're really coming home to stay.

Chorus 

Bridge:
D G                  Bm/F#m
  I can give you two good reasons,
   F                   C
To show you love's not blind.
     Bm/A          C#m/G#        F#m       D
He's two and she's four, and you know they adore you.
   Bm        C#m        D                   E
So how can I tell them , you've changed your mind?

Chorus (Modulation)
    F#      E       B         E
Sometimes I wake up cryin' at night,
        F#      E               B
And sometimes I scream out your name.
     F#             E       B        
What right does she have to take your heart away?
         C#m      E        F#
When for so long you were mine.
C#         E    F#       B
I remember when you were mine.
