        A             G               A
Now it seems I can't keep my mind off of you
     A                   G                 E
My brain drifts back to better days we've been through
      A               G                  A
Like sitting on blacktop of the school grounds
     A               G              E
The love I bitched about I finally found

Chorus:
     D        A          G        F#m
But now it's gone and I take the blame
            D             E               A
So there's nothing I can do but take the pain.
Why?

Now I dwell on what you remind me of
A sweet young girl who sacrificed her love
As for me, I am blind without a cause
And now I realized what I have lost

Chorus:
It was something real that I could've had
Now I play the fool whose stable soul's gone bad
Why?

A                   G                  E
Tell me, well, the words i might have said
A                        G              E
That's pumping pressure deep inside my head
A            G               E
Was it bad enough to be too late?
A                 G                 E
Just tell me the words I might have ate
     G                 E
The words I might have ate
     G                 E
The words I might have ate

Chorus:
But now it's gone and I take the blame
But there's nothing I can do but take the pain
Why?

  A  G
Why?
  A  G
Why?
  A  G
Why? Oh...
  A  G
Why?

Why?
  A  G
Why?
