Because You Can't Be Mine
Merle Haggard
C F
What makes something you can't have always look so good
C G7
Why does something out of reach seem so fine
C F
What makes you thrill me more than any girl I know
C G7 C
I guess it's just because you can't be mine
G7 C F C
Why can't I be contented with what belongs to me
G7
And be satisfied with what's already mine
C F
What makes a stolen moment such a precious thing
C G7 C
I guess it's just because you can't be mine
F
What makes me always want a woman I can't have
C G7
Why does someone else's silver always shine
C F
My passion rises every time you come around
C G7 C
And I guess it's just because you can't be mine
