[Verse 1]
G C
Stepping along the hum of the sidewalk
D
A marionette, a slave
G G
Your legs are wood and tied to the city
D
Who has final say
[Verse 2]
G C
It's hard to hug the girders, my brother
D
It's hard to swing and waltz
G C
With your tempo one beat less than the others
D
You're three times more at fault
[Chorus]
G Em C D
I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay
G Em C D
Yeah I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay
[Interlude]
G C D D
G C D D
[Verse 3]
G C
If your silver wing is stuck on horizons
D
Catch it when it goes
G C
Or they'll take a piece and pull back the curtains
D
And there's nothing left but your clothes
[Chorus]
G Em C D
I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay
G Em C D
Yeah I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay
[Interlude]
G C D D
G C D D
[Verse 4]
G C
The strings are why you move to Geppeto
D
The daily hourglass
G C
This match made was made in a moment
D
But now that moment's past
[Chorus]
G Em C D
I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay
G Em C D
Yeah I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay
G Em C D
I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay
G Em C D
Yeah I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay
