The Airborne Toxic Event – Why Why Why (Guitar)

 G                                  C           
Was a summer’s day when you first walked away

        D                        G
At the time I wasn’t feeling so bad

            C             D                    G
Just like every big conversation that we ever had

                                           C                D
And you know how a thing like that can be such a terrible shame

                         G
Cause it makes you feel mean

      C            D     G       C   D  
Your eyes were so very green

           Em        Bm
And it’s foolish to think

           C                D
You would ever consider it again

                     Em
After two or three drinks

                       Bm        
All the books on the subject say

       C                   D                 Em
“Just move along, give yourself some time to think”

                      Bm
They say follow your heart,

               C          D          Em D    C
What if your heart never knew where to go or why?

                    G
You’d have sang goodbye

     C                 D              G
To people whose every word is just a lie

         C              D               G
Like a guilty man who knows he’s gonna fry

        C                        D                  G         C   D
I was hoping to catch that old dreamy look in your eye

           Em        Bm       C
And it’s foolish to need any sign

                    D                       Em
You’d consider me again after smoking some weed

                         Bm             
All our friends are so bored of hearing

        C                  D                 Em
Every tired and desperate word we’d ever plead

                       Bm
They say follow your heart,

               C          D           Em D     C
What if your heart never knew where to go, or why?

                   G
You’d have sang goodbye

     C                 D            G
To people whose every word is just a lie

           C                          D
And you wonder just a little if your soul

                 G
Isn’t starting to die

      C                  D               G
You spend every waking moment wondering why 

 C       D       G
Why why why why why

 C       D       C      D
Why why why why why

 G                                    C
Was a winter’s day when I finally realized

           D                    G
I was the one always walking away

                                        C
That you tried so many times and I’d ignored

        D                   G
Every word that you had to say

        C                D
Can be such a terrible shame

                       G
Cause it makes you feel old

           C            D   G          C    D
And your words were so very cold

           Em         Bm
And it’s foolish to think

         C                     D               Em
You can bury it all in some endless drive to drink

                  Bm                     C
Every person you meet can tell you’re a ship

                    D                           Em
Taking water in a storm and you’re starting to sink

                    Bm
If you follow your heart

              C        D               Em   D
Then you’re bound to become something else

          C        D           Em  D   C
You take one hard look at yourself

              G                C      
And you’ll say I’m gonna do everything

              D                  G     
You said I couldn’t do when I was high

           C                  D              G
And I’ll write your name in stars across the sky

           C                D                     G
And we’ll meet somewhere someday and you’ll ask me why

 C       D       G
Why why why why why

 C       D       G
Why why why why why

 C       D       G
Why why why why why
