[C/B] [C/B] [C/B] [C/B]

Why-------------? Why------------?

[Verse 1]
How many times [C/B] …do I have to try …to tell you,
That I’m …sorry for the things I’ve done?
[C/B] Oo – oo, oo!
But when I start to try to tell you,
[C/B] That´s when you have to tell me,
…Hey,this kind of trouble’s…
…Only just …begun–[C/B]—! Oo, yeah!

[Verse 2]
I tell myself too many times,
Why don’t you ever learn to [D/F#]keep your big mouth shut?
That’s why it hurts so bad,
To hear the words that keep on f[D/F#]alling from your mouth,
Falling from your mouth, falling from your mouth!

[C/B] [C/B]

Tell me,...why---------? ...Why---------?

[Verse 3]
I may be mad, I may be [C/B]blind,
I may be viciously un – kind,
But I can still read …what you’re thinking,
[C/B] Oo – oo, oo – oo, oo – oo!
And I’ve heard it said,
Too many [C/B]times, that you’d be better off,
Be – sides, …why can’t you see this boat is sinking?
(This boat is s[C/B]inking, this boat is sinking!)

[Verse 4]
Let’s go down to the water’s edge,
And we can [D/F#]cast away those doubts,
Some things are better left un – said,
But they [D/F#]still turn me inside out,
Turning inside out, turning inside out!

[C/B] [C/B]

Tell me,...why---------? Tell me, ...why---------?

[Verse 5]
This is the book I never read,
[C/B] These are the words I never said,
This is the path I’ll never tread,
These are the dreams I’ll dream in – stead,
This is the joy that’s seldom spread,
[C/B] These are the tears, the tears we shed,
This is the fear, this is the dread,
These are the contents of my head!

[Verse 6]
And these are the years that we have spent,
[C/B] And this is what they represent,
This is how I feel! Do you know how I feel?
‘Cause I don’t think you know [C/B]how I feel,
I don’t think you know what I feel,
[C/B] I don’t think you know what I feel,
You don’t know what I feel!

Intro

Verse 1

I want to have you cause you’re all I’ve got
Don’t want to lose you cause it means a lot
All the joy this world can bring
Doesn’t give me anything when you’re not here

Verse 2

Idiot me stupid fool
How could you be so uncool
To fall in love with someone who
Doesn’t really care for you it’s so obscure

Pre-Chorus 1

But I feeeee-eel wonderful
Yes I feel don’t you know I feel [/A] wonderful

Chorus 1

God it makes me feel so good
Every [/F#]time I think about you
All of the heat of my desire
Smoking [/F#]like some crazy fire
Come on here look at me where I stand
Can’t you see my [/F#]heart burnin’ in my hand
Do you want me do you not
Does it feel [/F#]cold baby does it feel hot

Verse 3

I want to hold you and be so held back
Don’t want to need you but it’s where I’m at
Thinkin’ bout ya every day
How come I was made that way it’s so surreal

Pre-Chorus 2

But I fee-eeeel wonderful
Yes I feel don’t you know I feel [/A] wonderful

Chorus 2

God it makes me feel so good
Every [/F#]time I think about you
All of the heat of my desire

Do you want me do you not
Does it feel [/F#]cold baby does it feel hot

Chorus 3

It makes me feel so good
Every [/F#]time I think about you
All of the heat of my desire
Smoking [/F#]like some crazy fire
Come on here look at me where I stand
Can’t you see my [/F#]heart burnin’ in my hand
Do you want me do you not
Does it feel cold baby does it feel hot
