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 GD/F# A sweet reliable machine Am And to tell the truth I don't feel less alone CG A water massagers is the purest love I've ever known
AmC 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
AmC 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 FAmG And I know we wont go spend our lives alone.
Am Why can't you be C Like an outsourced government contract GD 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 FAmG* 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 GAm A little more at ease
(Am) Why can't you be C Like a hand rolled cigarette
I’m not joking GD 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?
