F#7~
I have tried to understand
I have tried to be a better man
But your world's too hard to see
and your words are killing me
F#7~
I don't ask that much of you
I just want to hear the truth
But you keep on passing by
Look the other way when I see your eyes

refrain:
F#7  E   E     F#7     C#7
Why~   can't I be your baby
F#7  E  E     F#7     C#7
Why~  can't I be your man
F#7 E   E       F#7      C#7
I...    it's driving me crazy
F#7  E   E    F#7  C#7
Why~  don't I understand

(repeat riff 2)

F#7~
You had all I could give
And I believed you deserved it
Now you're making me realize
Talk about "couldn't make the sacrifice"

F#7~
See I thought you were serious
But it seems you're scared of us
So now I can't see straight
I guess I'm the one who's been afraid

Repeat refrain
