Because You Can't Be Mine chords by Merle Haggard

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
