Verse 1
Gettin tired of living
Living for a moment
Gettin tired of hanging on the line
Wake up every morning
And I pull back the curtain
Wonder if it's gonna rain or shine
Gettin tired of thinking
Gettin so tired of begging
Gettin tired of forgetting
That there's two of us
I'm getting so tired of loving a man
that just don't give a damn
Chorus
Just tell me
Tell baby why I'm holding on
When your lovin's long gone
I got a good mind
So, why don't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye
Just tell me baby, why I've been holding on
For so long
And nothing but a miracle is gonna bring ya back
Bring ya back to me now
Verse 2
I gotta get myself together
Gotta stop telling myself that I can do no better
Gotta go out and maybe start meeting some new people
I gotta go out and buy myself one of those little black dresses
Cause I'm so tired of this t-shirt
I'm so tired of cryin off all my make-up
Gettin just so tired of waking up
With a lonely heart
I'm getting so tired of giving a damn
About an absent hearted man
Chorus 2
Just tell me
Tell baby why I'm holding on
When your lovin's long gone
I got a good mind
So, why don't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye
Just tell me baby, why I've been holding on
For so long
And nothing but a miracle is gonna bring ya back
Bring ya back to me now
*(Chord changes a bit tricky here, listen for changes)*
Bridge
Oh, I can see it
(Coming down the shadows)
Coming down the shadows
I can see it
It's coming through
It's coming through the windows
Oh, I can see it
(Coming down the ceiling)
I can see it coming down the ceiling
I Can't escape it
(Can't escape the feeling)
I can't escape it
Can't escape the feeling
Chorus 3
Tell me, yeah
Why I'm holding on
When your love is long gone
I got a good mind
So, why don't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye
Just tell me baby why I've been holding on
For so long
And nothing but a miracle is gonna to bring it back
Bring ya back to me now
Outro

Oh, nothing but a miracle
Is gonna bring you back to me now
