Still Wondering Why You Left Me Behind

B  E  C#m  F#


[Verse 1]
B                                      E
 You swing by late with money for groceries
C#m                               F#
 Forgot writing the check another week
          B
I guess I thought that you remembered
            E
It's always four days till September
         C#m                                       F#
And I pretend to sleep, but I didn't even brush my teeth
           G#m    F#        E          B         E
And by the time I opened my eyes, your truck was gone
     G#m     F#      E           B          E
So I cried myself to sleep, just nine years young


[Chorus]
              G#m
How could you not love what is yours?
              E
How could you leave two perfect boys?
              B                                          E
How could you not be enough, but still make me want your love?
              G#m
How could you call yourself a man?
              E
How could you not know who I am?
              B                                          E
How could you not be еnough, but still make me want your love?


[Verse 2]
B                                         E
 You both stand at thе door, look at your boy
C#m                                  F#
 He's grown into his ears, better to hear
B
 You kneel down next to the sofa
             E
You brush my hair and look me over
             C#m                                          F#
And then you kiss my head, smell cigarettes fresh on your breath
           G#m    F#      E        B        E
And by the time I got the nerve to tell you off
         G#m     F#  E            B         E
Well the tar and nicotine finally did their job


[Chorus]
              G#m
How could you not love what is yours?
              E
How could you leave two perfect boys?
              B                                          E
How could you not be enough, but still make me want your love?
              G#m
How could you call yourself a man?
              E
How could you not know who I am?
              B                                          E
How could you not be еnough, but still make me want your love?


[Outro]
                   G#m                   E
Still chasing that light that you left behind
                    B                   E
Still fighting that fire, waiting for a sign
                   G#m                   E
Still chasing that light that you left behind
                B                 E
Still wondering why you left me behind
