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

Oh, nothing but a miracle

 Is gonna bring you back to me now

Oh, nothing but a miracle oh no no no

Oh, nothing but a miracle

 Is gonna bring you back to me now
