How could I think it would be good at all
                          G  
Still you stand tall
You had a story to tell
                                                                C  
You said it had a happy ending
                                        G  
But not one for me
          D  
You strung me along
Said there's nobody else
C                                                                                                            G                 C  
Why would you want to be the way that you are, my darling?
     D  
I marvel at the face
Of this life of disgrace
          G                      Am            G  
You have been for so long
C  
It took the tidal waves
Of five hundred hurricanes
        G                                            C  
To help me reach the shore
                        D                                                                                                            G              C      G  
Tell me, why would you want to be the way that you are?
The first time you took my hand
                                                                                                  C  
And you wooed me with the language of love
                G  
And of life
The second time, still I believed
                                                                                                C  
Your kids just told me that I was no fool
                                             G  
That you were not cruel
                        D  
Then you broke my heart with ease
Saying, "I'm not a bad man"
C                                                                                                            G                 C

Tell me, why would you want to be the way that you are?
                        D  
When the lies and the cheating and the blaming is on
                        C                                                                    G  
When the work day is ended and the    ?    ?    is gone
                        A  
Will you lie in your bed and no life remains?
