Nitty Gritty Dirt Band


Tom: E

INTRO: E


#1.
E             B
Tell me, just one more time the reasons 
        E
why you must leave.
        A
Tell me once more why you're sure you don't 
E
need me.
A                 B
Tell me again but don't think that you'll 
   E
convince me.


#2.
B           E            Gbm             B
Now, you've said, before falling in love again 
             E
you'd rather be dead.
     Gbm                 B
When someone breaks your heart, you cry your 
E
eyes red.
            Gbm             B
But there's nothing so hard about the life that 
E
you've led.


CHORUS:
   A            Gb              B          E
As far as I can see, there's no reason for goodbyes.
A                   Gb                 B
You're just running scared, and that's something I 

won't buy.



#3.
        E       Gbm                      B
So, you lose, I won't let you go there's nothing to 
         E
show but more blues.
Gbm                 B                   E
All this talk about leaving is strictly bad news.
    Gbm                 B                      E
So, you settle down and stay with the boy that loves you.



INTERLUDE: B E B E B A E A E



CHORUS:
   A            Gb              B          E
As far as I can see, there's no reason for goodbyes.
A                   Gb                 B
You're just running scared, and that's something I 

won't buy.

Yeah, you settle down and stay with the boy that loves you.
