F#           A#m         D#m
Of all the people in the world
        A#m              B             A#m
That I know, you're the best place to go
         B  C#      F#
When I cry, when I cry

I never asked for much before, not before
Things are changed, I need more
Tell me why, Judy why?

I never thought that she would say, say goodbye
But she did, and now I
Wanna die, I wanna die

I never thought that I would need, need a friend
Oh, but I did in the end
Tell me why, Judy why?

D#m  A     G#sus4 G#
Ohh what a scene
     C#m                C#m           F#sus4 F#
It's wrong for her to hang me up this way
Bm   Bm        Esus4 E
Ohhh where you been
       A                E                  F#  C#7 
'Cause it's so hard to make it through the day

A man my age is very young, so I'm told
Why do I feel so old?
Tell me why, Judy why?

Oh, what a scene
It's wrong for her to hang me up this way
Oh, where've you been?
Because it's so hard to make it through the day

There's no tomorrow because my dream did not last
So I live in the past
Tell me why, Judy why?
Tell me why, Judy why?
Oh, tell me why, Judy why?
