Pa pa pa...
 A            E7     A
Why won't you let me be?

[Verse 1]
          D
Well, you told me that you wanted me to be the one
    Bm
But all you every wanted was to have some fun
    G
You cheated and you lied

I hope you're satisfied
A             E7     A
Why won't you let me be?

[Verse 2]
        D
Well, I try to walk away but everytime I do
    Bm
You tell me that you're sorry and that you'll be true
  G
I take you back again and then you lie to me again
 A            E7     A
Why won't you let me be?

[Chorus]
Ab G
  (Why don't you set me free)
   Oh, baby, baby, why?
 F
(Why won't you let me be)
   Baby, baby why?
G
Let me know all I want to know
E7                   A
Why won't you let me go?

[Verse 3]
  D
I guess that I will always be in love with you
    Bm
And yet I know that you're the kind that can't be true
   G
So let me go my way

Don't try and make me stay
A                E7     A
Please won't you let me be?
