[Verse 1]
       Ab               Cm
I said "Baby, come over"
          Bb
You said "I'm not ready"
       Ab                        Cm
I said "You'll turn into a loner"
         Bb
You said "That's okay with me"
        Ab            Cm
I said, I said, I said
        Bb
I said, I said, I said


[Chorus]
(Bb)              Ab        Cm
You don't need to try to pretend
    Bb
For someone else
               Ab
I just need to help you
    Cm      Bb
Instead of helping out myself
Ab                   Cm             Bb
Why you gotta go act so tough baby, when I call?
Ab
And why you gotta leave me
Cm               Bb
When you need me most of all?
       Ab              Cm
I said "Baby, I want ya"
         Bb
You said "I know that you do"
       Ab                     Cm
I said "Will you come on over?
         Bb
Is there no convincing you?"
        Ab            Cm
I said, I said, I said
        Bb
I said, I said, I said


[Chorus]
                  Ab         Cm
You don't need to try to pretend
    Bb
For someone else
               Ab
I just need to help you
   Cm      Bb
Instead of helping myself
Ab                   Cm             Bb
Why you gotta go act so tough baby, when I call?
Ab
And why you gotta leave me
Cm               Bb
When you need me most of all?
Ab                  Cm                Bb
Don't you leave me, don't you leave me
(Bb)
And why you gotta leave me?
Ab                Cm               Bb
When you need me, when you need me most of all?
Ab                   Cm             Bb
Why you gotta go act so tough baby, when I call?
    Ab
And why you gotta leave me
Cm               Bb
When you need me most of all?


[Outro - Chorus]
                  Ab         Cm
You don't need to try to pretend
    Bb
For someone else
               Ab
I just need to help you
    Cm      Bb
Instead of helping myself
