Em                         Gadd9
If only you'd had known me before the accident

Em                            Gadd9                                                   
For with that grand collision, came a grave consequence

Em                    Gadd9
Receptors overloaded, they burst and disconnect

Em                             Gadd9
'Til there was little feeling, please work with what is left

Em                         Gadd9
Oh I need not be flattered that you've never been here before

Em                            Gadd9
So there's no need to mention that you've no firsts anymore

Em                                Gadd9
But if you let me be your skyline, I'll let you be the wave

Em                             Gadd9
That reduces me to rubble that looked safe from far away
[CHORUS]
C/G
I don't know why I don't know why

Em
I return to the scenes of these crimes

C/G
Where the hedgerows slowly wind

Em
Through the ghosts of Beverly Drive

C/G
I don't know why I don't know why

Em
I don't know what I expect to find

C/G
Where all the news is second hand

Am
And everything just goes on as planned
[BREAK] Em Em Asus Asus* Am Am7 Am Am7 [VERSE 3]
Em                     Gadd9 (hammer on D string 2nd fret)
You wanna teach but not be taught

Em              Gadd9 (hammer on D string 2nd fret)
And I wanna sell but not be bought

Em                         Gadd9
So let us not be lonesome, let us not be lonesome

Em                         Gadd9
Lost in between our needs and wants
[CHORUS]
C/G
I don't know why I don't know why

Where all the news is second hand

And everything just goes on as planned
