This is what it sounds like to me.

Note:  Some of the C's sound like C9's = x32033, and some of the Em's sound
like Em9's = 022002, especially in the instrumental parts, so you can mix
it up and see which ones you like.


Intro: G  Em  C  G

              G       D  Em              C
I'm not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love

    G       D            C    G
But to you I gave my affection right from the start

      G      D      Em              C
I have a lover who loves me, how could I break such a heart

    G            D      C     G
Yet still you gained my attention

Chorus:
          Em      C           G
Why do you come here when you know I've got trouble enough

          Em       C              G
Why do you call me when you know I can't answer the phone

      D         C
You make me lie and I don't want to

         D              G
You make someone else some kind of unknowing fool

      D            C
You make me stay when I should not

      D                   G
Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me

          Em     C                      G
Why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by

        D   C  D  G
But I need to see you

        D    C D  G  D  G
And I need to hold you,    tightly


G  Em  C  G


     G       D     Em              C
Feeling guilty, worried, waking from tormented sleep

     G      D               C    G
This old love has bound but the new love cuts deep

     G          D         Em          C
if I choose now, I'll lose out, one of you has to fall

           G     D    C G
But I need you, and you.

Repeat chorus


G  Em  C  G
