      F
I was reading Blood Meridian

       G          Am
On the hood of my car

     F                      C           Am
Fantasizing wild ponies and electric guitars

      G                                 F           Am
I was contemplating storm clouds on the edge of the sky

     G                                   F            Am
It's best you don't ask questions if you can't handle why
[Chorus]
G             F
Why don't you love me honey

    C           Am
Why can't it be love

          G            C
What's it got to be anything

    F        Am
Why ain't I enough

G             F
Why don't you love me honey

C          Am G F
What can I prove

            C        Dm              G            Am
I'd just as soon you hate me than to try and make do

          F       C        Dm              G            Am
Yeah, I'd just as soon you hate me than to try and make do
[Interlude] F G Am F C Am [Verse 2]
          F                            G         Am
I threw a coin at my reflection on the edge of a lake

       F                             G         Am
Then I rode off in the sunset on the back of a snake

             G                              F          Am
Some say the devil is a woman, some say the devil is a man

            G                            F          Am
I think the devil is a painting you just don't understand
[Chorus]
G             F
Why don't you love me honey

    C           Am
Why can't it be love

C         G            C
What's it got to be anything

    F        Am
Why ain't I enough

C             F
Why don't you love me honey

C          Am G F
What can I prove

            C        Dm              G            Am
I'd just as soon you hate me than to try and make do

    F       C        Dm              G            Am
I'd just as soon you hate me than to try and make do
[Guitar Solo] F G Am F C Am [Chorus]
G             F
Why don't you love me honey

What's it got to be anything

    F        Am
Why ain't I enough

C             F
Why don't you love me honey

C          Am G F
What can I prove

[Outro]
F
Heave yourself a sigh, babe

G            Am
You can be relieved

G
You ain't gotta lie no more

    F                    Am
And I ain't gotta make believe
