Chords used: 
 
Am F G C 
 
 
Am F G 
Why can't only things be like they were 
C Am 
It’s not the same when I no long can speak to her 
F G 
I may be changed but so have she 
C Am 
It’s like we're prisoners and we just can’t get free 
F G 
I see her eyes the same old eyes 
F Am 
But then she breaks me down and makes our feelings die 
 
 
It's pretty basic, but it should give you some idea how to play it. 
Am F G C goes throughout the song. 
I suggest you improvise a little. Also, a capo wouldn't hurt either... 
 
Lyrics: 
 
Why can't only things be like they were 
It’s not the same when I no long can speak to her 
I may be changed but so have she 
It’s like we're prisoners and we just can’t get free 
I see her eyes the same old eyes 
But then she breaks me down and makes our feelings die 
 
I got a life on my own 
I have to be on my own sometimes 
I have to stand on my own two feet’s and I know I treat her good 
But why do we always fight 
I can’t look at you 
I can’t be with you tonight 
And I know that this ain't right 
Because I love you so but I have to go alone 
 
Why can't only I for one just be 
It’s not the same when I no long can speak to him 
I may be changed but so have he 
It’s like we've locked us up and thrown away the key 
I see your smile the same old smile 
But then he takes me down and make our feelings die 
 
I got a life on my own 
I have to be on my own sometimes 
I have to stand on my own two feet’s cause I know I treat him good 
 
But why do we always fight 
I can’t look at you 
I can’t be with you tonight 
And I know that this ain't right 
Because I love you so but I have to go alone
