[Strophe]
        G 
It's 3 AM and I finally say 
     Em 
I'm sorry for acting that way 
                  G 
I didn't really mean to make you cry 
   Em 
Oh baby, sometimes I wonder why
[Refrain]
 D             G 
      Does it always have to come down 
         D 
To you leaving 
                    Am        C 
Before I'll say 'I love you' 
          G 
Why do I always use the words 
                  D 
That cut the deepest 
                          Am 
When I know how much it hurts you 
   G    C                     G - D - Am 
Oh baby why, do I do that to you
[Strophe]
            G 
I know I'd never let you walk away 
    Em 
So why do I push you 'til you break 
                 G 
And why are you always on the verge of good-bye 
           Em 
Before I'll show you how I really feel inside
[Refrain]
D              G 
      Does it always have to come down 
            D 
To you leaving 
                     Am       C 
Before I'll say 'I love you' 
          G 
Why do I always use the words 
                D 
That cut the deepest 
                          Am 
When I know how much it hurts you 
    G    C                    G - D - Am 
Oh baby why, do I do that to you
[Outro]
          G                                  D 
Why do I always use the words that cut the deepest 
                         Am 
When I know how much it hurts you 
    G    C                    G - D 
Oh baby why, do I do that to you 
                     Am - (G) - C 
Why do I do that to you
