   E
Oh why can't we be
Best friends anymore?
           F#m
They say a friend
Ain't to be
Between a girl and a boy
          B
I don't know who said it
                         E
Or why it got to be so wrong
     E
Oh why don't you call
Don't you care anymore
         F#m
It's not fair
Don't let 'em get you
It took us both and now I got to fix you
               B
Well I don't know how to fix you
You say it's just the way it's got to be,
         E
but how so?

Chorus:
E
Why
      F#m
Is an awful lot of question
             B
And I can't give me no answer
                 E
I keep wondering on

Oh, why can't you see that I'm not trying to be
No kind of bother I'm just trying
To save what was left between you and me
And where we left it before they took it
And took it all
And took off
Oh why did I let them drive a wedge between?
Well, I watched it and I didn't say nothing
And now I'm crying when I sleep
Now I'm sayin', I'm prayin',
to that sweet melody in my soul

Chorus:
Why
Is an awful lot of question
And I can't give me no answer
I keep wondering on

I wanna know, who said it
Who said it, oh Lord
