And I don't know why I keep lovin' you the way I do now

Dm Am

Dm Am F G

I swear you got a heart that's made of stone

F G

Verse 2:

And I don't know why I keep lovin' you the way I do

But I do now

I cry, you know why, I would die if you left me again

I swear you got a heart that's made of stone

Made of stone
