"Weird Al" Yankovic – Why Does This Always Happen To Me (Guitar Acoustic)

Bm                 A                            G                   D
I was watching my TV one night when they broke in with a special report

              Bm          A           G        D
about some devastating earthquake in Peru.

Bm                     A                         G                   D
There were thirty thousand crushed to death, even more were buried alive.

         Bm              A           G        D
On the Richter scale it measured 8.2.

              G            A            D
And I said, "God, please answer me one question?

G                    C    G    D
Why'd they have to interrupt 'The Simpsons' just for this?".

C   G   D                  C   G      D
What a drag, 'cause I was taping it and everything;

              G                     D               A
And now I'll have to wait for the rerun to see the part of the show I missed.

G              D
Why does this always happen?

F              C
Why does this always happen to me?

G               D
Why does this always happen?

F                     C
(Why) Why does this always happen to me?

G            D
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba

F           C               A
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba

Bm                      A                    G                   D
I was driving down the highway when all the traffic slowed to a crawl,

              Bm                A            G        D
there was a twelve-car pile-up, everybody dead.

           Bm                  A           G                D
And I saw brains and guts and vital organs splattered everywhere,

            Bm                  A            G        D
as well as my friend Robert's disembodied head. (disembodied head)

               G     A                D
And I thought,"Poor Rob, I just had lunch with him.

      G             C         G       D
Hey, wait a minute, he still owes me money,what a jerk!"

          C    G    D               C    G     D  
Well, there's five bucks that I'm never gonna see again.

              G                 D                       A
Plus now, on top of everything else, it looks like I'm gonna be late to work.

G              D
Why does this always happen?

F             C
Why does this always happen to me?

G              D
Why does this always happen?

F                    C
(Why) Why does this always happen to me?

G            D
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba

F           C
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba

D#           D      G
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba, baaaaa---

          Bm           A                 G              D
Oh, the other day, my boss said we were running low on toner,

Bm                      A             G              D 
and he told me I should buy another case.

        Bm              A            G                   D
Well, I told him I was busy, but he still just kept on asking;

       Bm                 A                  G                  D
So, I turned around and stabbed him in the face. (right in the face)

        G             A           D
Oh, and wouldn't you know it, my knife got stuck.

G              C       G        D
I guess that's probably bound to happen now and then.

    C  G   D             C        G     D 
But I'm afraid I may have bent the tip a little,

        G                 D                 A  
and I know that blade will never ever be quite as sharp again. (quite as sharp again) Oh, tell me!

G              D

F             C

F                    C
(Why) Why does this always happen to me?

G              D
Why does this always happen to

F                   C
Me? (Why does this always happen to me?)

G              D
Why does this always happen to

F                    C
Me? (Why does this always happen to me?)

G            D

F           C
