[C]
[Em] Why, [Am] why,
[G] [C] why?
[Em] [Am]
[G] [C] How many [G] times do I have to try [C] to tell you
That [F] I'm sorry [G] for [C] the things I've [Em] done?
Ooh, [Am] yeah
When [F] [G] [C] I start to try to tell [G] you
That's when you have to tell [Am] me, hey
This [F] kind of [C] trouble's only just [Em] gone [Am] Yeah
[F] I [G] [D] tell myself too many times
[A] Why don't you ever [D] learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your [G] mouth
[A] [F] Falling from your mouth
[F#] Falling from your mouth
Tell [C] me why
[G] [Am]
Tell [F] [C] me why
[G] I [C]
[F] [C]
[G] may be viciously [C] young
But I [F] can still read [C] what you're thinking [G] Ooh
[C]
[F] I've [C] heard it said too [G] many times
That you'd be better off [C] besides
Why [F] can't you see [G] this [C] boat of sin
This boat of [G] sin, boat of [C] sin
[F] [G] [D] Let's go down to the water's edge
We can dust away those dusts
Some things are better left unsaid
They still turn inside out
[A] [F] Turning inside, [D] turning [Am]
inside
[C] Tell me why
[G] Tell [Am]
[F] [G] [C] me why
[G] [Am]
[C] [F] This [G] [C] is the book I [G] never read
These are the words I never [Am] said
This is the path I'll never [F] tread
These are the dreams I'll [Gm] dream [C] instead
This is the joy that seldom [G] spread
These are the tears, the tears we [Am] shed
This is the fear, this is the dread
[F] These are the contents [C] of my head
And these are the [G] years that we've spent
And this is what they represent
[Am] And this is how I feel
[F] Do you [G] know [C] why?
Cause I don't think you [G] [Am] think you know what I [F] feel
[G] [C] Why?
