The difference is why.

And now repeat the verse (with different lyrics of course)

then end with :

D(V) - E(VII) - F(VIII) - G(X) - A(XII)

Does this have to mean goodbye?

LYRICS

You say you can't trust me.

Have you tried?

You say you don't love me.

That's a lie.

There are so many, so many rainbows

That were to climb.

But baby, baby, why can't we survive?

We've got to get our hands untangled

and free our state of mind.

The difference is why

Does this have to mean goodbye ?

that's all.
