Am
Are you frightened by the weight you possess or
C
Is this life just weightlessness
G
The smoggy twilight in LA
D
I can't think of one real thing to say
Am
And Robbie Williams is walking in the canyons
C
For-gets that we were friends
G (G)
I guess it all depends on your mood
G (G)
Why can't these meds be any damn good

And she said


Am
Why can't you be
C
Like my waterpik shower massager
G D/F#
A sweet reliable machine
Am
And to tell the truth I don't feel less alone
C G
A water massagers is the purest love I've ever known

Am C
Why can't you be
G
Like when I was thirteen

Am
Why can't you be
C
Like an art house foreign movie
G
Frank and sexy, red balloons and ennui
D
And allude to me

Am C
And why can't you be
G
A little more of a mystery
(G)
Why can't you be

Am
The part of me that's missing
C
Instead of leaving me for some other
G
Said we're perfect for each other
F Am G
And I know we wont go spend our lives alone.

Am
Why can't you be
C
Like an outsourced government contract
G D
I'm a fat cat gettin' away with anything
Am
Kickin' some secret special powers
C
Illumination rounds in showers
G
Cause it's tearing your hair out
D
While we can have a bed of flowers

(And I said)


Am
Why can't you be
C
Like the chicks out on the road
G
Some girls are happy just to see me
Am
Because you got moxie and a broken nose
C
And take him away from this close
G
Sometimes a blowjobs not enough


Am
Why can’t you play
C
A little less rough

G
Why can't you be
Am
The part of me that's missing
C
Instead of leaving me for some other
G
Say we're perfect for each other
F Am G*
And I know we wont go spend our lives alone

F* Am* G*
Can we........just leave it be
F* Am* G*
And we can live......our lives....separately
F* Am*
Could you for-get....what happens to you
G*
You and me

F* Am*
When we're dead... and you'll be dead
G*
We'll have eternity
F* Am*
And I will spend it all.....missing you
G*
Seeing you with me
F* Am* G*
So while I'm alive........I will always be


Am
Why can't you be
C
Lookin' a little deeper into me
G
Like JD Salinger
D
Why do I challenge her
Am
In all these surface ways

That you displease
C
Why can't you be
G Am
A little more at ease


(Am)
Why can't you be
C
Like a hand rolled cigarette

I’m not joking
G D
This masochistic self-pity of smoking
Am
And this city ditty
C G* (play G* riff once this time)
I keep provoking you to leave me


She said

Am
Why can't you be
C
Like a candle I can snuff

G
You’re still a diamond in the rough

D
And I swear to god I've had enough

Am C G (last chord end with easy downwards strum)
How can I call your bluff?

~~~THE END~~~
