[Verse]
Bm A D
If I was poet I would burn,
G Bm
every dot and cross off every word.
A D
If I was a chemist, i'd combust,
G Bm
the elements that fuel my wanderlust.
A D
If I was a criminal I would commit,
G Bm
every sin on earth just to admit.
A G
Just because I could, I did.
[chorus]
D G
ooh, but could I do it to you?
A D
Just because, just because.
G
ooh, could I do it to you?
A
Just because, just because.
[verse]
Bm A D
If I was a child, I would pray,
G Bm
convinced of a god I should obey.
A D
If I was a loyal dog i'd stay,
G Bm
conditioned by a voice that calls my name.
A D
If I was mechanical I would salute,
G D
The scientific proof of my excuse.
A G
Just because I should, I do.

Bm A D
If I was a realist i'd quit,
G Bm
brave as any heartless pessimist.
A D
If I was a reason you'd resist,
G Bm
my doubts for all your benefit.
A D
If I was a king you'd cripple my crown,
G Bm
and to your compassion i'd bow down.
A G
Just because you would, I will.
[chorus]

Just because, just because.
