I was watching my TV one night when they broke in with a special report
Em D C G
About some devistating earthquake in Peru
Em D C G
There were thirty thousand crushed to death even more were buried alive
Em D C G
On the Richter scale it measured
C D G
And I said God please answer me one question
C Bb C G
Why'd they have to interrupt 'The Simpsons' just for this
Bb C G Bb C G
What a drag 'cause I was taping it and everything
C G D
And now I'll have to wait for the rerun to see the part of the show I missed
chorus:
C G
Why does this always happen
Bb F
Why does this always happen to me
C G
Why does this always happen
Bb F
Why Why does this always happen to me

I was driving down the highway when all the traffic slowed to a crawl
Em D C G
There was a twelve-car pile-up everybody dead
Em D C G
And I saw brains and guts and vital organs splattered everywhere
Em D C G
As well as my friend Robert's disembodied head
C D G
And I thought - Poor Rob I just had lunch with him
C Bb C G
Hey wait a minute he still owes me money - what a jerk
Bb C G Bb C G
Well there's five bucks that I'm never gonna see again
C G D
Plus now on top of everything else it looks like I'm gonna be late to work
chorus:
C G
Why does this always happen
Bb F
Why does this always happen to me
C G
Why does this always happen
Bb F
Why Why does this always happen to me

Oh the other day my boss said we were running low on toner
Em D C G
And he told me I should buy another case
Em D C G
Well I told him I was busy but he still just kept on asking
Em D C G
So I turned around and stabbed him in the face right in the face
C D G
Oh and wouldn't you know it my knife got stuck
C Bb C G
I guess that's probably bound to happen now and then
Bb C G Bb C G
But I'm afraid I may have bent the tip a little
C G D
And I know that blade will never ever be quite as sharp again quite as sharp again
Oh tell me
C G
Why does this always happen
Bb F
Why does this always happen to me
C G
Why does this always happen
Bb F
Why Why does this always happen to me
