[Verse 1]
Em                                           D
It's only said to be kind the time that you have with love

              C              Em
You're never told but you're loaned it

                               D
It's a lie, the high that you have with love

              C             Em
It feels like gold when you hold it

                                          B7
And know it's sweet, to know it when it's gone, baby

   C    D    Em
So why, why, why
[Chorus]
                 CM7
Why would you be lovin'

                 B7
Why would you be lovin'

                 Em    D  Am
Why would you be lovin', hey

                           Em
And, hey, why would you be loved

    G                     Em
Mm, hey, why would you be loved
[Verse 2]
                                               D
Now the world falls apart it starts with their actin' up

           C             Em
I wouldn't say it, but I blame them

                                       D
The bleedin' hearts, the arts and that other stuff

        C    Em
All the same motivations will melt away

                     B7
Like snowflakes on a tongue, baby

   C    D    Em
So why, why, why
[Chorus]
                  C
Why would you be lovin'

                  B7
Why would you be lovin'

                 Em   D  Am
Why would you be lovin', hey

                            Em
And, hey, why would you be loved

                           G
Mm, hey, why would you be loved

                          Em
Mm, hey, why would you be loved

    Am                    Em
Mm, hey, why would you be loved

    Dsus4               D
Mm, hey, why would you, why would you
[Refrain]
C             G               D           B          Em
Why would you play it all on somethin' as hollow as trust? (Hey)

C             G               D           B      Em
What if you gave it all, to find that it wasn't enough? (Hey)

C                 G                 D                   B         Em
What if under the gaze of all, you come short when the going gets rough?
[Chorus]
Em                  C
Why would you be lovin'

                  B7

Mm, hey, why would you be loved

                          Em
Mm, hey, why would you be loved
[Verse 3]
Em                                                      D
They look for somethin' to be done for those that are most in pain

           C          Em
What about me and my achin'?

                                   D
The scales rehung, the breakin' of yoke and chain

           C         Em
What about me and my breakin'?

                                                B7
And if you ain't for all, how could you try it all, baby?

   C   D    Em
So why, why, why
[Chorus]
                C
Why would you be lovin'

C             G               D           B      Em
What if you gave it all, to find that it wasn't enough? (Hey)

C                 G                 D                   B         Em
