The Airborne Toxic Event – Why Why Why (Ukulele)

Bb                                     Eb  
  It was a summer's day when you first walked away

        F                         Bb
At the time, I wasn't feeling so bad

          Eb               F                    Bb
Just like every big conversation that we ever had

                                          Eb               F
And you know how a thing like that can be such a terrible shame

                          Bb
Because it makes you feel mean

     Eb           F    Bb     Eb F
Your eyes were so very green

         Gm         F               Eb               F
And it's foolish to think you would ever consider it again

                   Gm
After two or three drinks

                     F                Eb
All the books on the subject say just move along

         F                 Gm
Give yourself some time to think

                     F                 Eb            F
They say follow your heart but if your heart never knew

         Gm F   Eb
Where to go, or why

                      Bb
You're just saying goodbye 

   Eb                 F             Bb
To people whose every word is just a lie

       Eb             F                Bb
Like a guilty man who knows he's gonna fry

       Eb                      F                   Bb   Eb F
I was hoping to catch that old dreamy look in your eye

         Gm         F        Eb                       F
And it's foolish to need any sign you'd consider me again

                   Gm
After smoking some weed

                    F
All our friends all support our view

          Eb                   F           Gm
And every tired and desperate word we ever bleat

                     F                 Eb            F
They say follow your heart but if your heart never knew

         Gm F   Eb 
Where to go, or why

                     Bb
You're just saying goodbye

   Eb                   F            Bb
To people whose every word is just a lie

        Eb                           F                    Bb
And you wonder just a little if your soul isn't starting to die

        Eb                   F               Bb
And you spend every waking moment wondering why

Eb      F      Bb
Why why why why why

Eb      F      Gm
Why why why why why

Bb                                     Eb
  It was a winter's day when I finally realized 

           F                   Bb
I was the one always walking away

                                       Eb            F                   Bb
That you tried so many times and I'd ignored every word that you had to say

                                          Eb                F
And you know how a thing like that can be such a terrible shame

                         Bb
Because it makes you feel old

         Eb            F   Bb    Eb F
And your words were so very cold

         Gm         F             Eb
And it's foolish to think you can bury it all

        F                Gm
In some endless draft of drink

                 F                      Eb                        F
Every person you meet can tell you're a ship taking water in a storm

                       Gm
And you're starting to sink

                   F                 Eb          F             Gm  F
If you follow your heart then you're bound to become something else

         Eb       F           Gm  F Eb
You take one hard look at yourself

           Bb
And you say I'm

         Eb                          F                      Bb
Gonna do everything you said that I couldn't do when I was high

         Eb                 F                Bb
Now I'll write your name in stars across the sky

         Eb                 F                     Bb
And we'll meet somewhere someday and you'll ask me why

Eb      F      Bb
Why why why why why 

Eb      F      Bb
Why why why why why

Eb      F      Bb
Why why why why why
