Intro / Verse 1
Am F C G
40 Reasons why I often wonder
Am F
About the girl who led me on
C G
Thru the thunder and the rain
Chorus
D C G
Why don't you ever hold me?
D C G
I don’t believe you, don’t believe you told me
Verse 2
Em G
Forty reasons why I am singing
Em C
My head is turning and my heart is stinging
Am F C G
You got me on a string — that kind of love can be a lonely thing
Am F C G
And it’s growing old that gives people the blues
Am F C G
And it’s growing up that gets me confused
Verse 3
Em G C
I’ve been working and I sit for a while
Em G C
And my mind wanders to your distant smile
Am F C G
I bend down to tie my shoe — Lord knows I’m thinking of you
Am F C G
And I was wishing I was holding your hand
Outro
Am F C G
I keep hoping that one day you’ll see
Am F C G
And you’ll go looking for a man like me
Am G F C
I’m like a song without notes — without you, without you
Am G F C
I’m like a little boy without hope — without you, without you
Am G F C
I’m like the moon without the sun — dark and lonely ‘cause you’re the only one
Am G F C
Dark and lonely without you
