[Verse 1]
C
I came home this evenin' and found you were leavin'
Bb F C
And I didn't know what to do
C
You packed all your things and gave me your ring
Bb F C
Said, honey, I'm leavin' for good
C
I'll never know why you'd tell me good-bye
Bb F C
And leave me so lonely and blue
C
For you should have no reason to go
Bb F C
For, Darlin', I've always been true
[Chorus]
Gm F C
Tell me why would you desert me
Eb Bb C
The way your doin' tonight
Gm F C
Why would you wanna hurt me
Eb Bb Gm
Darlin', why say good-bye
C
Tell me why
[Verse 2]
C
Our love had been strong cause I had held on
Bb F C
And now my hearts breakin' in two
C
I thought you loved me but now I can see
Bb F C
I never meant nothin' to you
C
I love you, my dear, and I can't stand to hear
Bb F C
That your love words were just dirty lies
C
Now what did I do to make you untrue
Bb F C
Oh, Darlin', just please tell me why
[Chorus]
Gm F C
Tell me why would you desert me
Eb Bb C
The way your doin' tonight
Gm F C
Why would you wanna hurt me
Eb Bb Gm
Darlin', why say good-bye
C
Tell me why
