C G Am7 F
[Verse]
C
I was moving down to Tennessee
G
When you decided not to come with me
Am7
All the promises and diamond rings
F
Couldn't keep the girl I love with me
C
They say wounds heal with time
G
Just tell yourself "tomorrow's sun will rise"
Am7
But as we whispered our final goodbyes
F
I had to tell you what was on my mind
G Am F
Just stay here and wait for me to breathe again
C G Am7 F
To understand and believe that you could really be leaving me
[Chorus]
C
Why does the earth spin 'round
G
When my world is crashing down
Am7
Why does the sun shine bright
F
When I lost the light of my life
C
Why did I fall in love?
G E Am7
Why did I let my guard down?
F
You were the first girl I ever loved
C
And you're the last one I ever trust
G Am7 F
C
And I swear that I am trying to get over you
G
I've even got out with some other girls a time or two
Am7
But every one I meet reminds me of the one I lost
F G
Which brings me right back to the moment where you broke my heart
Am F
Stay, and wait for me to breathe again
G Am7 F
To understand and believe that you could really be leaving me
[Chorus]
C
Why does the earth spin 'round
G
When my world is crashing down
Am7
Why does the sun shine bright
F
When I lost the light of my life
C
Why did I fall in love?
G E Am7
Why did I let my guard down?
F
You were the first girl I ever loved
G
And you're the last one I ever trust
Am F G Am7 F
G Am F
Just stay and wait for me to breathe again
G Am F
Just stay and wait for me to breathe
C F Am G F
This Tennessee sky can't dry my eyes, cause you
G
You were the first girl I ever loved
[Chorus]
C
Why does the earth spin 'round
G
When my world is crashing down
Am7
Why does the sun shine bright
F
When I lost the light of my life
C
Why did I fall in love?
G E Am7
Why did I let my guard down?
You were the first boy I ever loved
C
And you're the last one I ever trust
G Am7 F
C
I was driving down to Tennessee
G
Crossing rivers and mountain peaks
Am7
Hoping somewhere on the other side
F C
There's a boy who can come and change my mind
