As recorded by Set It Off (From the 2022 Album ELSEWHERE) Tune down 1/2 step [Intro] Am Dm Am [Verse 1]
                              Dm
I'm watching my friends all succeed

                         Am
Honestly, they deserve it

                            Dm
But I'm selfishly over here asking:

         Am
“Why not me?”

                              Dm
We're all driving to the same place

                               Am
I'm just stuck in the slow lane

                              Dm
I impatiently wait while they pass me

        Am
Why not me?
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
When I'm down and biting the dust

Dm
A little voice is shouting “get up”

Am
'Cause when it hurts, I'm brushing it off
N.C. Dig down deep and say [Chorus]
        Am
Why not me?

Am
With the odds up against me

Dm
I'm not gonna let me down

           Am
Can't stop me

Am
Might be down for the count

    Dm
But don't you ever count me out

  Am                             Dm
I take shots of pain, watch that flicker turn to flame

         Am                 Dm
Dig down deep, say ”why not me?”
[Verse 2] N.C. Fixated, I sharpen my teeth
                         Am
Underdog's getting hungry

                                    Dm
I've been biding my time, I've been waiting

         Am
Hide and seek, what I'm missing

                             Dm
The thoughts of me giving up fade away

         Am
'Cause I live it, I breathe it, I can't be defeated

       Dm                   Am
That's when I say, “why not me?”
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
When I'm down and biting the dust

Dm
A little voice is shouting “get up”

Am
'Cause when it hurts, I'm brushing it off
N.C. Dig down deep and say [Chorus]
        Am
Why not me?

Am
With the odds up against me

Dm
I'm not gonna let me down

           Am
Can't stop me

Am
Might be down for the count

    Dm
But don't you ever count me out

  Am                             Dm
I take shots of pain, watch that flicker turn to flame

         Am                 Dm  Fmaj7  Dm  Fmaj7  Dm
Dig down deep, say ”why not me?”
[Bridge]
         F
Hide and seek, what I'm missing

                             Dm
The thoughts of me giving up fade away

         F
'Cause I live it, I breathe it, I can't be defeated

       Dm       E
That's when I say
[Chorus]
        Am
Why not me?

Am
With the odds up against me

Dm
I'm not gonna let me down

           Am
Can't stop me

Am
Might be down for the count

    Dm
But don't you ever count me out

  Am                             Dm
I take shots of pain, watch that flicker turn to flame

         Am                 Dm
Dig down deep, say ”why not me?”
[Outro]
Am  Dm  Am         Dm
           Why not me?
