[Intro]
Am Are you frightened by the weight you possess or C Is this life just weightlessness G Smoggy twilight in LA G/F# I can't think of one real thing to say Am And you and me are walking in the canyons C She forgets that we were friends G I guess it all depends on your mood G/F# G Why can't these meds be any damn good
[Verse 1]
(And she said)
Am Why can't you be C Like my waterpik shower massager G G/F# A sweet reliable machine Am And to tell the truth I don't feel less alone C G A water massager's the purest love I've ever known
[Verse 2]
Am Why can't you be C G Like when I was 13 (and I said) Am Why can't you be C Like an art house foreign movie G G/F# Frank and sexy, red balloons and ennui
And aloof to me
Am And why can't you be C A little more of a mystery
[Chorus]
G Why can't you be Am The part of me that's missing C Instead of leaving me for some other G Said we're perfect for each other F Am And I know we won't spend this life, alone. (and she said)
[Verse 3]
Am Why can't you be C Like an out sourced government contract G G/F# I'm a fat cat gettin' away with anything Am Kicking some secret special powers C Illumination rounds in showers G Cause your tearing your hair out G/F# While we can have a bed of flowers (and I said)
[Verse 4]
Am Why can't you be C Like the chicks out on the road G Some girls are happy just to see me Am Because you got moxie and a broken nose C You take 'em away from this prose G Sometimes a blowjob's not enough Am Why can’t you play C A little less rough
[Chorus]
G Why can't you be Am The part of me that's missing C Instead of leaving me for some other G Say we're perfect for each other F Am G And I know we wont go spend this life, alone
[Bridge]
F Am/E Can we... G just leave it be F Am/E G We could live... our lives... separately F Am/E Could you forget... what happens to you G To you and me F Am/E When we're dead... and we'll be dead G We'll have eternity F Am/E And I will spend it all... missing you G Missing you and me F Am/E So while I'm alive... G I will always be F Seeking you out, diggin' you out, Am/E wondering about how'd we go so far down G And what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you and me
[Verse 5]
(and she said)
Am Why can't you be someone C Looking deeper into me G Like J.D. Salinger G/F# Why do I challenge her Am In all these surface ways
That you displease
C Why can't you be G A little more at ease, well
[Verse 6]
Am Why can't you be C Like a hand rolled cigarette
I’m not joking
G G/F# This masochistic self-pity pot smoking Am And this city ditty C I keep provoking you to leave me
[Outro]
(and she said)
Am Why can't you be C Like a candle I can snuff G You’re still a diamond in the rough G/F# And I swear to god I've had enough Am C G How can I call your bluff?
