John Mayer – Why Anyone Has To Go (Guitar Fingerpicking)

Am               Dm7
Why couldn’t God fill the world with

G                    C
A bunch of people and just leave it

Am              Dm7
Instead of everybody grieving

F/G              C
Alone in their despair

Am                   Dm7
What is the purpose of this hurting

G                     C
Why are the seasons always turning, tell me

Am                 Dm7
If love will always end for certain

    F/G              C
Then why’d He put it there

Am              Dm7
Years gone by I still can’t forget it

G                    C
Tears will fall and drown you if you let it

Am                Dm7
As long as I live I'm never gonna get it

    F/G            C
Why anyone has to go

Am               Dm7
This girl I knew made me better

G                    C
We’d fall asleep and touch our feet togеther

Am                 Dm7
Now I'm just trying to forget her

    F/G            C
To keep mе moving on

Am                Dm7
I should be happy that I knew her

G                   C
And not the fact I now mean nothing to her

Am                Dm7
It’s kinda crazy she’s a stranger

    F/G               C
And all her stuff is gone

Am              Dm7
Years gone by I still can’t forget it

G                    C
Tears will fall and drown you if you let it

Am                Dm7
As long as I live I'm never gonna get it

    F/G            C
Why anyone has to go

Am              Dm7
Years gone by I still can’t forget it

G                    C
Tears will fall and drown you if you let it

Am                Dm7
As long as I live I'm never gonna get it

    F/G            C
Why anyone has to go

Ebmaj7      Gm
  Valium sleeping ain't the same, I

Ab             Ebaug
  Wake up calling out your name

Ebmaj7
  Visions that I can't explain

     Ab         Abm
They tell me I'm ok

      Gm
Maybe we

           Cm      Cm7
Could live forever

           Fm
If only in our

              Bb   G/B
Our dreams together

Am              Dm7
Years gone by I still can’t forget it

G                    C
Tears will fall and drown you if you let it

Am                Dm7
As long as I live I'm never gonna get it

    F/G            C
Why anyone has to go

Am              Dm7
Years gone by I still can’t forget it

G                    C
Tears will fall and drown you if you let it

Am                Dm7
As long as I live I'm never gonna get it

    F/G            C
