The difference is why.
And now repeat the verse (with different lyrics of course)
then end with :
D(V) - E(VII) - F(VIII) - G(X) - A(XII)
Does this have to mean goodbye?
LYRICS
You say you can't trust me.
Have you tried?
You say you don't love me.
That's a lie.
There are so many, so many rainbows
That were to climb.
But baby, baby, why can't we survive?
We've got to get our hands untangled
and free our state of mind.
The difference is why
Does this have to mean goodbye ?
