G                                     C    
It must have been a awfull hurt that someone did to you 
     D                                                  G 
That buildt a wall around your heart that I can't break through   
                                  C          
I can't erase I can't replace the bitterness with sweet  
     D7                                     G  
No I can't find my way behind your wall of memory  
G                                      C 
If you want me why can't I keep you in love with me  
    D7                                               G 
You say your mine but I'm not blind I know you wanna be  
                                               C 
And when your holding me no sweeter love could ever be 
    D7                                                   G 
But when I'm gone somehow I can't keep  you in love with me  
   
 
SOLO 
 
G                                         C 
The worst mistake that you could make the surest way to lose  
      D7                                             G 
Would be to listen and believe the lies they tell to you  
                                 C 
There is a way you can repay the one who let you down  
    D7                                                G 
Let me repair your broken heart don't leave it on the ground 
G                                      C 
If you want me why can't I keep you in love with me  
    D7                                               G 
You say your mine and I'm not blind I know you wanna be  
                                               C 
And when your holding me no sweeter love could ever be 
     D7                                                  G 
But when I'm gone somehow I can't keep  you in love with me  
     Am              D7                                  G 
But when I'm gone somehow I can't keep  you in love with me
