Daniel Johnston – Why Without You (Guitar)

 C     Em   Am         C
Why-yy-yy am I doin’ here?

 C     Em     Am        C
Why-yy-yy are you here too?

     C        A#           F      C
And what would life mean without you?

    C  Em   Am         C
And why are you so beautiful?

 C  Em         Am           C
Why-yy do the stars shine bright?

 C          Em    Am C
And it ain’t even night

     C          A#        F          C
And what does a girl like you see in me?

    C   Em     Am      C
And why-yy are you so pretty?

 C     Em  Am C
Why-yy-yy-yy-yy?

 C    Em  Am  C
Why-yy-yy-yy-yy?

C   Em          Am           C
Why why did you do what you did?

C             Em
Why you had a man

Am             C
Now you have a kid?

    C        A#       F      C
And why do I ask such silly questions?

C      Em          Am  C
Why-yy-yy don’t I kill myself

C      Em         Am    C
Why-yy-yy don’t I kill myself

C                                   F        G
The time has come and I’ve learned all about you

C                     F            G
Now that I’m alone I live without you

        Am                             A#
Without you I take the day-to-day of living in my life

Am                                 A#
But I guess you had your way you got him, you’re his wife

     G
So goodbye!

C                                    F            G
I could have settled down and lived forever with you

C                                   F      G
Shared the same bed and have a dozen kids with you

         C                         F     G
With a swing in the backyard with plastic ducks

         C                             F                  G
With a porch in the front yard with a mailbox with our name on it

     C                       F             G
But without you I can’t have any of these things

        Am                             A#
Without you I take the day-to-day of living in my life

     Am                              A#
But now I have to say I did want you for my wife

      G
So goodbye!

C    Em        Am      C
Why-yy can’t I see the end

C                  Am  C
All I see is the beginning

        A#       F          C
Saying over and over in my mind

C         Em          Am      C
You once seemed like a possibility

C   Em      Am             C
Why-yy do dreams like that die?

C   Em   Am      C
Why-yy I ask you why?

C              A#         F        C
Black are the skies that once were blue

C   Em       Am          C
Why-yy do I grieve over you?
