[Intro]
C G Am Em
[Verse]
C
How many times
G
Will I take this rollercoaster ride
Am
Make myself sick before I realize
Em
I can just step off?
C
And how many nights
G
Will I keep driving on an empty tank
Am
Every mile I go a little more insane
Em
When I can make it stop?
[PPre-Chorus]
C G D
When I love you rolls right off your tongue
C G D
I forget your mouth's a loaded gun
[Chorus]
C
Yeah, baby, you're the reason I'm crazy
G
And lately you're the reason I cry
Am
And you're the only reason I hate me
Em
And love you at the same damn time
C
Oh, how do you keep me so hopeless
G
And somehow believe that you'll change?
Am Em D
'Cause you're the only reason I ever wanna leave
C
And, baby, you're the reason I stay
[Verse]
C
When you're good, it's so fun
G
And holding you is like a last of the sun
Am
But then you drop me down when I ain't got a parachute
Em
Falling from the cloud that you just sent me to
[Chorus]
C
And baby, that's the reason I'm crazy
G
And lately you're the reason I cry
Am
And you're the only reason I hate me
Em
And love you at the same damn time
C
Oh, how do you keep me so hopeless
G
And somehow believe that you'll change?
Am Em D
'Cause you're the only reason I ever wanna leave
C G
And, baby, you're the reason I stay-ayyyy-ay-ay
Am Em
Oh, I wanna walk away
D
But I can't walk away
[Break]
C G
And baby, that's the reason I'm crazy, mm mmm
Am
Baby that's the reason I hate me
D
For loving you all the damn time
[Chorus]
C
Oh, how do you keep me so hopeless
G
And somehow believe that you'll change?
Am Em D
Cause you're the only reason I ever wanna leave
C G
And, baby, you're the reason I stay, mm mmm
Am EM
You're the only reason I stay
