Dm C
Got to find me a way
Dm C
Take me back to yesterday
Bb F A
How could I ever hope to forget you?
Dm C
Won't you show me a place
Dm C
Where I can hide my lonely face?
Bb F A
I know you're going to break my heart if I let you
CHORUS:
D G
Why does love got to be so sad?
D G
Why does love got to be so sad?
D G
Why does love got to be so sad?
D G
Why does love got to be so sad?
Like a moth to a flame
Like a song without a name
I've never been the same since I met you
Like a bird on the wing
I've got a brand new song to sing
I can't keep from singing about you ...CHORUS
I'm beginning to see
What a fool you've made of me
I might have to break the law when I find you
Stop running away
I've got a better game to play
You know I can't go on living without you ...CHORUS
(from Layla, 1970)
