[Ab] [Eb] [Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [Bbm] [Ab] [Db]
[Eb] [Ab] Why [Eb] is it you [Ab] must be so [Db] very cruel [Ab] to me in [Db] order [Eb] to [Ab] be kind?
[Db]
[Eb] [Ab] Why [Eb] can't I hold [Ab] you close?
Do [Db] you insist [Ab] your toast?
[Db] Bogging stood [Bbm] on [Ab] by mine.
[Cm] Why [B] can't I kiss [Eb] your lips?
Do [F] you astound [Bbm] me?
Saying [Db] that you won't put your [Eb] arms around [Gb] me, no one should be [F] that cold.
[Db] Whatever I've done, [Dbm] surely I've a right to [Eb] know.
[Cm] Why, [Fm] [Bbm] oh why, [Eb]
[Ab] oh why, why [Eb] is it [Ab] every time we [Db] visit [Ab] friends of mine,
you [Db] never [Eb] want [Ab] to go?
[Db]
[Ab] Why, [Eb] when I'm [Ab] feeling good, you [Db] act as [Ab] if I should [Db] be at an [Ab] all-time low.
[Cm] [B] Why, after all [Eb] these years [F] we've been together,
[Bbm] [Db] must you behave as if [Eb] we'd hardly [Gb] ever spoken,
let [F] alone met?
[Db] It seems that you're happy [Dbm] as long as I'm [Eb] upset.
[Cm] Oh, [Fm] why, oh [Bbm] why,
[Eb] [Db] oh why, is it that you [G] don't love me?
[Cm] Have you [F] just had enough of me?
Oh, [Bbm] why do I [Dbm] always have to cry [Gb] myself to sleep seven [Eb] days a week?
[Ab] [Eb] [Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [Db] [Ab] [Eb]
[Ab] [Eb] [Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [Db] [Ab] Why, [Cm] [G] in the name [Eb] of God, are [F] you so angry?
[Bbm] Could [Db] it be that you can no [Eb] longer stand [Gb] me?
Tell me and I [F] will go.
[Db] You're breaking my heart just [Dbm] in case you [Eb] didn't know.
[Cm] Oh, why, [Fm] oh [Bbm] [Eb]
[Ab] why, [Db] oh why, [Eb]
oh [Cm] [Fm] [Bbm] [Eb] why, [Ab] oh why.
