[Verse]
C
How many times do I have to try to tell you?
Am F C
That I’m sorry for the things I’ve done
C
But when I start to try to tell you
C
That’s when you have to tell me
Am F C
Hey, this trouble only just begin
[Pre-chorus]
D Bm
I tell myself too many times
F#m G
Why don’t you learn to keep your mouth shut?
D Bm
That’s why it hurts so bad to hear the words
F#m G
Keep on falling from your mouth
F
Falling from your mouth
Dm
Falling from your mouth
[Chorus]
D C Em Am F
Tell me why
C Em Am F
Why?
[Verse 2]
C
I may be mad
I may be glad
Am F
I may be viciously unkind
C
But I still can read what you are thinking
What you are thinking
What you thinking
C
I’ve heard it said too many times
You be better off
Am F C
Besides, why can’t you see this boat is sinking?
This boat is sinking
[Pre-chorus 2]
D Bm
Let’s go down to Waters Edge
F#m G
We can cast away these stones
D Bm
Some things are better left unsaid
F#m G
They still turn me inside out
F
Turn me inside out
Dm
Turn me inside out
[Chorus]
D C Em Am F
Tell me why
You tell me
[Bridge]
C
This is a book I never read
Em
The words I never said
Am
The path I’ll never tread
F
The dreams I’ll dream instead
C
The drink I step and spilled
Em
Tears that we shed
Am
The fear, Madrid
F
The conscious inside my head
C
These are the years we spent
Em
This is what they represenT
Am
This is how I feel
F
Do you even know I feel?
C
Cause if you know
Em
I don’t think you know
Am
How can you know?
F
You never ask me
[Chorus]
C Em Am F
Why
C Em Am F
Why?
[Outro]
C Em Am F
