F

My house in Budapest my,

My hidden treasure chest,

Golden grand piano,

My beautiful Castillo

 

Bb

You,

You,

F

I’'d leave it all

 

F(Riff 1)

My acres of a land,

I have achieved,

It may be hard for you to,

Stop and believe

 

           Bb

But for you,

You,

                  F

I’'d Leave it all

 

        Bb

Oh for you,

You,

             F

I’'d Leave it all

 

Chorus: (Riff 2)

C

Give me one good reason

    Bb                     F

Why I should never make a change,

    C

And baby if you hold me

     Bb                   F

Then all of this will go away

F

My many artefacts,

The list goes on,

If you just say the words I,

I'’ll up and run,

 

      Bb

Oh to you,

You,

             F

I’'d leave it all

 

       Bb

Oh for you,

You,

I’'d leave it all

Give me one good reason

Why I should never make a change

    C

And baby if you hold me

     Bb                   F

Then all of this will go away

 

 

C

Give me one good reason

    Bb                     F

Why I should never make a change

    C

And baby if you hold me

     Bb                   F

Then all of this will go away

My friends and family they,

Don'’t understand

They fear they'’d lose so much if,

You take my hand

I'’d lose it all

Oh for you,

You,

I'd lose it all

Give me one good reason

    Bb                     F

Why I should never make a change

    C

And baby if you hold me

     Bb                   F

Then all of this will go away

My house in Budapest my,

My hidden treasure chest,

Golden grand piano,

My beautiful Castillo
