          Cm
I'm on an overcrowded train
Fighting an overcrowded brain
A#             G#
And all these bags under my eyes
Hold up my compromise

    Gm
And maybe I should bail on everything, anything
Did you not learn anything in school?
G#
Could have played by the rules
A#
Could be happy in a different way

Struggling with the London rent
They said it would be hard, now
I know what they meant
I lose sleep, head stuck in the cereal bowl
But I'm here for the music, I know
Distracted! Can I say what I mean?
Can I mean what I say?
Why can't I figure out how
I feel when I wake up every day?

  Fm
I face everything with the same old logic
A#                               Gm
Overanalysing everything is tragic
    Fm
And maybe some things they will never make sense
     A#
So I tackle it all
But I'm not making a dent, no

Chorus:
G#
And I think my brain is breaking
 D#              A#                   G#
And it’s just myself I’ve been blaming
It’s frustrating
 D#                 Gm
I just wanna know why
G#
And I know no good will come of it
 D#            A#                     G#
I wish that I could just be done with it
But I’m sinking
 D#                 Gm
I just wanna know why I’m overthinking
G#          D#  
No, no, and I just wanna know
Gm
I just wanna know why
D#         Gm
Oh, oh and I just wanna know why

I'm an outcast to be left behind
I'm an extrovert with an anxious mind
There's a danger that I might just
Pour my heart out to a total stranger in a bar
They're not gonna wanna hear
No, they're just there to sip their beer
Not hear about problems to solve and
"God this girl's so self-involved"
I play it out in my head
I'm tryna make good choices, I hear voices
They can't pick one side
Help, I look so stupid sitting there tongue-tied
Meltdown, all I can hear is "code red, code red"
Got a problem in the control centre in my own head

Facing the world with the same old logic
Overanalyzing everything is tragic
And maybe some things, they will never make sense
So I tackle it all, but I'm not making a dent, no

Chorus

Oh-oh
And I just wanna know, I just wanna know why
Oh-oh
And I just wanna know, I just wanna know why
Oh-oh
And I just wanna know, I just wanna know why
Oh-oh
And I just wanna know why
