The Airborne Toxic Event
Why Why Why
Capo 3
[Intro]
G C D (x2)
[Verse 1]
G C
Was a summer’s day when you first walked away
D G
At the time I wasn’t feeling so bad
Gave me shit while I looked away
C D G
Just like every big conversation that we ever had
C D
And you know how a thing like that can be such a terrible shame
G
Cause it makes you feel mean
C D G C D
Your eyes were so very green
[Chorus]
Em Bm
And it’s foolish to think
C D
You would ever consider it again
Em
After two or three drinks
Bm
All the books on the subject say
C D Em
“Just move along, give yourself some time to think”
Bm
They say follow your heart,
C D Em D C
What if your heart never knew where to go or why?
[Verse 2]
G
You’d have sang goodbye
C D G
To people whose every word is just a lie
C D G
Like a guilty man who knows he’s gonna fry
C D G C D
I was hoping to catch that old dreamy look in your eye
[Chorus]
Em Bm C
And it’s foolish to need any sign
D Em
You’d consider me again after smoking some weed
Bm
All our friends are so bored of hearing
C D Em
Every tired and desperate word we’d ever plead
Bm
They say follow your heart,
C D Em D C
What if your heart never knew where to go, or why?
[Verse 3]
G
You’d have sang goodbye
C D G
To people whose every word is just a lie
C D
And you wonder just a little if your soul
G
Isn’t starting to die
C D G
You spend every waking moment wondering why
C D G
Why why why why why
C D C D
Why why why why why
C D G(x1)
[Verse 4]
G C
Was a winter’s day when I finally realized
D G
I was the one always walking away
C
That you tried so many times and I’d ignored
D G
Every word that you had to say
And you know how a thing like that
C D
Can be such a terrible shame
G
Cause it makes you feel old
C D G C D
And your words were so very cold
[Chorus]
Em Bm
And it’s foolish to think
C D Em
You can bury it all in some endless drive to drink
Bm C
Every person you meet can tell you’re a ship
D Em
Taking water in a storm and you’re starting to sink
Bm
If you follow your heart
C D Em D
Then you’re bound to become something else
C D Em D C
You take one hard look at yourself
[Verse 5]
G C
And you’ll say I’m gonna do everything
D G
You said I couldn’t do when I was high
C D G
And I’ll write your name in stars across the sky
C D G
And we’ll meet somewhere someday and you’ll ask me why
C D G
Why why why why why
C D G
Why why why why why
C D G
Why why why why why
Why Why Why
