[Verse 1]
           G
What is a train for but going?
            C
What is the wind for if not blowing?
          G                       Dm   G7
What is a kiss for but saying goodbye?
         Cm
Built my hope on forever
  G                 E
I should have known better
         Am          D           G
What is love for but making you cry?


[Verse 2]
             G
What is the snow for but falling?
             C
What is your name for but calling?
          G             Dm       G7
What is a tear for but wondering why?
         Cm
Built my hope on forever
  G                 E
I should have known better
         Am          D           G    D G
What is love for but making you cry?


[Chorus 1]
      Em       C               G
And I know you can't give me an answer
      Em       C               G      D G
And I know you've made up your mind
        C                      Em
You can go and I won't try to follow
              Am            G            D
But you can't ask me to be something I'm not
