Because You Can't Be Mine(Chords)

	        
C                                          F 
What makes something you can't have always look so good 

    C                                   G7 
Why does something out of reach seem so fine 

     C                                 F 
What makes you thrill me more than any girl I know 

  C               G7                   C 
I guess it's just because you can't be mine 

  
    G7                        C      F        C 
Why can't I be contented with what belongs to me 

                                     G7 
And be satisfied with what's already mine 

     C                            F 
What makes a stolen moment such a precious thing 

  C               G7                   C 
I guess it's just because you can't be mine 

  
                                  F 
What makes me always want a woman I can't have 

    C                                 G7 
Why does someone else's silver always shine 

   C                                 F 
My passion rises every time you come around 

      C               G7                   C 
And I guess it's just because you can't be mine 

  
    G7                        C      F        C 
Why can't I be contented with what belongs to me 

                                     G7 
And be satisfied with what's already mine 

     C                            F 
What makes a stolen moment such a precious thing 

  C               G7                   C 
I guess it's just because you can't be mine
