G                 C
Late nights in musty motel rooms
      G                 D
Stale lives left by someone else
      G                   C
White lies I wish I could tell you
    G           D        G
And questions I ask of myself


         G                          C
Why do I do the things that make me sorry
         G                           D
Why do I do the things that make you cry
       G                   C
Will I lose your love to another
G             D           G
Who loves you better than I

     G                       C
The angels smile when you're praying
        G                     D
But the devil laughs when you lie
         G                      C
And some things they go without saying
     G     D            G
When tears fill up your eyes


         G                          C
Why do I do the things that make me sorry
         G                           D
Why do I do the things that make you cry
       G                   C
Will I lose your love to another
G             D           G
Who loves you better than I

     C                    G
Some questions beg for an answer
       G               D
Like a poet begs for a rhyme
    G               C
Somehow all I can remember
    G           D       G
Is holding your hand in mine

     G                 C
Late nights in musty motel rooms
      G               D
Stale lives left all alone
     G                  C
He's telling you how he wants you
        G                D C
And I'm praying he doesn't know

         G                          C
Why do I do the things that make me sorry
         G                           D
Why do I do the things that make you cry
       G                   C
Will I lose your love to another
G             D           G
Who loves you better than I

G             D           G
Who loves you better than I
