How many times will I believe what you say?
                 F       C        G7    C
How many minutes can you count in every day?
         F                                    
How many times will I forgive you when you're 
C
cruel.

I'd like to leave you, I'd like to go today.
               F     C      G7       C
But if I leave you I know I couldn't stay.
               F                                 
I'd crawl back though I know you've broken 
      C
every rule.

I'd walk away but I'd melt when you speak.
         F             G7             C
I'd walk away but your kiss leaves me weak.
    G7     E                          Am
I'd get so mad with myself for acting meek.
            F                           G7
When will I learn not to turn the other cheek.

How many heartaches will come before I'm through?
              F     C       G7      C
How many lies til I turn my back on you?
            F                                   C
I guess the answer's one they'll never teach in school.
