CAPO: 4th FRET
 
INTRO:
Am  Em  Dm  Fmaj7  E7
 
 
VERSE:
Am                            Em
  Girl, the way you broke my heart
                                    Dm    F  E  Am
It shattered like a rock through a window
Am                      Em
I thought we had it so good
                       Dm    F E
Never really saw this comin'
 
 
CHORUS:
Am                        G
Oh, why you got to be so cold?
                      Dm
Why you got to go and cut me like a knife
     F               E7
And put our love on ice?
 
Am                               G
Oh, girl you know you left this hole
                                Dm
Right here in the middle of my soul
      F   E7                    Am
Oh oh oh, why you got to be so cold?
 
 
INSTRUMENTAL:
Am  G  Dm  F E Am
 
 
VERSE:
Am                    Em
What am I supposed to say
                    Dm
If anybody ask me about you?
                           F         E7 Am
I guess I'll tell 'em I'm without you
 
Am                    Em
How am I supposed to live
                       Dm
When I built my life around you?
                       F       E7
Try to put yourself in my shoes
 
 
CHORUS:
Am                        G
Oh, why you got to be so cold?
                      Dm
Why you got to go and cut me like a knife
     F              E7
And put our love on ice?
 
Am                               G
Oh, girl you know you left this hole
                               Dm
Right hеre in the middle of my soul
      F   E7                    F
Oh oh oh, why you got to be so cold?
 
 
BREAK:
                                G
I can only feel my love hangin' on
Em       G             F
I don't feel like it's over
                 E7
I'm still on fire
E7 N.C.
Why you gotta be so... ?
 
 
INSTRUMENTAL:
Am  Em  Dm  F  E7
Am  Em  Dm  F  E7
 
                         ***************
SOLO: This solo was done by a good friend of mine named Ayreon77 and NOT
      by me. He was the one who did the solo in the other Chris Stapleton
      song TENNESSEE WHISKEY. I asked him to tab it out and he did. I added
      it here in case you would prefer soloing instead of playing the chords.
      That choice is yours.
