[email protected] WHY SO SAD by THE MANIC STREET PREACHERS Lyrics by Nicky Wire, Music by James Dean Bradfield and Sean Moore From the album 'Know Your Enemy' (2001) [Intro] A [Verse 1]
A                             Bm
 Things get clear when I feel free

C#m                              D
 When what happens next comes easily

E                               F#m
 When gentle hands give life to me

          A              C      A
When your eyes fill with tiny tears
[Verse 2]
A                                Bm
 When I'm this still you were my life

                                 C#m
(When I'm this still you were my life)

                           D
So at ease in the midnight sky

                            E
(So at ease in the midnight sky)

                          F#m
My insides will look like war
(My insides will look like war)
    A            C             A
Paralysed except through my thoughts
[Chorus]
F#m
 So why so sad

C#m
 You live and you love

F#m
 So why so sad

          C#m           Cm
Dependent on above

Bm            E
 Searching for the dead sea scrolls

   G       F#
So why, so why so sad
[Verse 3]
A                         Bm
 My smile as real as a hyena's

                          C#m
(My smile as real as a hyena's)

                           D
Burns an express-way to my skull

                            E
(Burns an express-way to my skull)

                        F#m
But I'll stick myself together again

       A             C            A
Spirit so low that I no longer pretend
[Chorus]

 So why so sad

 You live and you love
