VERSE 1
CFC
You been out there layin' low
GC
In every dive from here to Memphis
FC
Lookin' for something to fill the hole
In your poor little heart
GF
And keep out the cold
C
Why does love have to hurt so bad
Am
To drive a man downtown every night
G
I tell ya something ain't right
Something's real wrong
In the morning when I wake up
You'll still be gone
CHORUS;
CGCGC
Come on back to the one who really loves you
GCG
Baby come on back to me
CGCGC
Come on back to the one who really cares
GCGC
Baby come on back to me
VERSE 2
CFC
Out chasing shadows on the dark side of town
GC
You can't hold what you can't catch
FC
It's a bitter business this running around
GCF
When the penny drops it's a lonely sound
Women are fools when it comes to you
CAm
They gotcha doin' things you can't undo
G
Like a chain of heartaches around your neck
Give 'em enough rope and they'll hang you yet
CHORUS;SOLO; F C Am G ; CHORUS REPEATED
F
Why does love have to hurt so bad
CAm
To drive a man downtown every night
G
I tell ya something ain't right
Something's real wrong
In the morning when I wake up
You'll still be gone
CHORUS REPEATS 2X
