Verse 1

G
I can tell by the look in your eyes
                        D7
That you still care for me
    G                      C
But somehow you just won't admit
G              D7         G
That's why I'm lonely you see

Verse 2

    C                        G
Now if you have made up your mind
                             D7
And if you still want me you know
G                     C
Why do you keep me in doubt
G             D7      G
Why don't you tell me so

Verse 3

Each night there's tears upon my pillow
                                 D7
And they're all because of you I know
G                       C
Dear I can't go on this way
G             D7      G
Why don't you tell me so

And if you still want me you know
G                     C
Why do you keep me in doubt

Why don't you tell me so

Verse 4

Now there'll come a time little darlin'
                          D7
When you will want me you know
G                       C
But it will then be too late
G          D7      G
For you to tell me so

Now if you have made up your mind
                             D7
And if you still want me you know
G                     C
Why do you keep me in doubt
G             D7      G
Why don't you tell me so
