Am(strum once)
Are you frightened by the weight you possess ohC (strum once)
Is this life just weightlessness
G (strum once)
The smoggy twilight in LA
G D/F# I can't think of one real thing to say
Am (strum once)
And Robbie Williams is walking in the canyons
C(strum once) Forgets that we were friends G(strum once) G D/F# (strum each once) I guess it all depends on your mood
D/F# G (strum each once)
Why can't these meds be any damn good
And she said
Am Why can't you be C Like my waterpik shower massager G D/F# A sweet reliable machine Am And to tell the truth I don't feel less alone C G A water massagers is the purest love I've ever known Am Am C/G Cadd9 (play the Am and C/G once) Why can't you be C G Like when I was 13 Am (strum once) Am Why can't you be C Like an art house foreign movie G D/F# Frank and sexy, red balloons and ennui
And allude to me
Am Am C/G C (play the Am and C/G once and quickly) And why can't you be C G A little more of a mystery G Why can't you be Am The part of me that's missing C Than leaving me for some other G Said we're perfect for each other F Am Cadd9 G And I know we wont go spend our lives alone. Am(strum Once) Why can't you be Am C Like an outsourced government contract G D/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 D/F# While we can have a bed of flowers
And I said
Am Why can't you be C Like the chicks out of the road G Some girls are happy just to see me Am Because you got moxie and a broken nose C Take him away from this close G Sometimes a blowjobs not enough Am Am C/G C (play the Am and C/G once quickly) Why can’t you play
(stop playin for a sec)
A little less rough
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 C G (strum both one time) And I know we wont go spend our lives alone
( THE NEXT PART DONT STRUM SO MUCH AND DO A LIL MORE PICKIN)
F Am Can we... G just leave it be F Am G And we can live... our lives... separately F Am Could you forget... what happens to you G You and me F Am When we're dead... and you'll be dead G We'll have eternity F Am And I will spend it all... missing you G Seeing you with me F Am So while I'm alive... G I will always be
(BACK TO STRUMMIN)
Am Why can't you be C Lookin' a little deeper into me G Like JD Salinger D/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 Am Why can't you be C Like a hand rolled cigarette
I’m not joking
G D/F# This masochistic self-pity of smoking Am And this city ditty C G I keep provoking you to leave me
She said
Am Why can't you be C Like a candle I can snuff G You’re still a diamond in the rough D/F# And I swear to god I've had enough Am C How can I G call your bluff?
