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