[Am]
[C] Why,
[Am] why,
[C] why
How [Am]
[C] many [Bm] times do I have to try [Am] to tell you
[F] That I'm sorry for [C] the things I've [Bm] done
Ooooo
[Am] [C]
But when I start to try to tell [G] you
That's when you have to tell [Am] me, hey
This [F] kind of trouble's only [C] just begun
[Bm]
[Am] Yeah
[C]
[D] I tell myself too [B] many times
Why don't you ever [D] learn to keep your big mouth [G]
shut
[D] That's why it hurts so [Bm] bad to hear the words
That [D] keep on falling from your [G]
mouth
[F] Falling from your mouth
[D] Falling from your mouth Tell [C] me
Why, [G]
[Am] [C]
why
[G] I [Am] [F]
[C] [Bm]
may be viciously [Am] unkind
But I [F] can still read [C] what you're thinking
[Bm]
Ooooo
[Am] [F]
[C] I've heard it said too [Bm] many times
That you'd be better off [Am] besides
Why [F] can't you see [D] this [C] bone is sinking
This bone [Bm] is sinking
This bone is [Am] sinking
[F]
[D] Let's go down to the [B] warmest edge
[D] We can cast away [G] those doubts
[D] Some things are better left [B]
unsaid
But [D] they still turn me [G] inside out
[F] Turn me inside out
[C] Turn me [D] inside out Tell [C] me
Why, [G] why
[Am] [F]
[C] Tell me Why, [G] why
[Am] [F]
[C] This is the book I have [G] ever read
[Am] This is the path I'll [F] ever tread
These are the dreams I'm dreaming [C] today
These are the joy that's selling [G] spread
These are the tears that tear [Am] me shed
This is the fear, this is [F] the dread
These are the conscience of my [C] head
These are the years that we've [G] spent
And this is what they write
[Am] [F]
Do you know how [C] I feel?
Cause I don't think [G]
[Am] you know how I [F] feel
[C] Why
[G] [C]
