              F                           C 
Was it some man, who didn't treat you right? 
F                                     C 
Left you reaching out for him in the middle of the night 
Bb                             Am 
Is it some heartache, that you can't outrun? 
     Bb                           G 
That make you so afraid,to get close to anyone 
 
          F       C      
You're so easy to look at,  
          F       C 
You're so easy to hold 
        F       C          
It's so easy to touch you  
      E7          Am 
And so hard to let go 
        F       C         
It's so easy to want you  
      E7        Am 
That I can't get enough 
        F                       
Tell me why do you have to be,  
G 
Why do you have to be... 
           C 
So hard to love? 
 
F                      C 
Is it some hurt, from long ago? 
F                                 C 
That makes it so hard to let your feelings show 
Bb                         Am 
Is it the ghost of who you used to be 
     Bb                     G 
That make you so afraid to bear your soul me 
 
          F       C      
You're so easy to look at,  
          F       C 
You're so easy to hold 
        F       C          
It's so easy to touch you  
      E7          Am 
And so hard to let go 
        F       C         
It's so easy to want you  
      E7        Am 
That I can't get enough 
        F                       
Tell me why do you have to be,  
G 
Why do you have to be... 
F                         
Tell me, tell me, tell me, 
G 
Why do you have to be? 
F         
Tell me, 
G                               C 
Why do you have to be so hard to love?
