[Chorus]
C      C/B  Am7    C/B C      C/B   Am7   C/B
   Why----------?         Why----------?
 
[Verse 1]
C                C/B                     Am7
  How many times  ...do I have to try to tell you,
         Fadd9      G       C
That I'm   ...sorry for the things I've done?
C/B           Am7    Fadd9
     Oo - oo, oo!
G      C
   But when I start to try to tell you,
C/B
     That's when you have to tell me,
Am7                   Fadd9
 ...Hey, this kind of trouble's...
   G    C             C/B        Am7   Fadd9
...Only just ...begun-----!  Oo, yeah!
 
[Verse 2]
A D                         Bm9
     I tell myself too many times,
                            D/F#                Gadd9
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut?
A D                                Bm9
     That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words...
                D/F#              Gadd9
...That keep on falling from your mouth,
Fmaj7                     D9
Falling from your mouth,  falling from your mouth
 
[Chorus]
          C         C/B   Am7  Fadd9
Tell me,   ...why-----------?
     G    C         C/B  Am7   Fadd9
Tell me,   ...why-----------?
 
[Verse 3]
G  C                         C/B
      I may be mad, I may be blind,
                        Am7
I may be viciously un - kind,
          Fadd9      G               C
But I can still read  ...what you're thinking,
C/B                    Am7      Fadd9
     Oo - oo, oo - oo, oo - oo!
G C
     And I've heard it said,
         C/B
Too many times, that you'd be better off,
     Am7                     Fadd9
Be - sides, ...why can't you see...
G            C                       C/B
This boat is sinking?  (This boat is sinking!)
                        Am7  Fadd9
(This boat is sinking!)
 
[Verse 4]
A D                                Bm9
      Let's go down to the water's edge,
           D/F#            Gadd9
And we can cast away those doubts,
A D                                   Bm9
     Some things are better left un - said,
         D/F#                 Gadd9
But they still turn me inside out,
Fmaj7               D9
Turning inside out, turning inside out!
 
[Chorus]
          C         C/B   Am7  Fadd9
Tell me,   ...why-----------?
     G    C         C/B  Am7   Fadd9
Tell me,   ...why-----------?
 
[Verse 5]
G  C
      This is the book I never read,
C/B
      These are the words I never said,
Am7
      This is the path I'll never tread,
Fadd9                                      G
      These are the dreams I'll dream in - stead,
C
      This is the joy that's seldom spread,
C/B
      These are the tears, the tears we shed,
Am7
      This is the fear, this is the dread,
Fadd9                              G
      These are the contents of my head
 
[Verse 6]
C
     And these are the years that we have spent,
C/B
     And this is what they represent,
Am7                     Fadd9       G
     This is how I feel!     Do you know how I feel?
C                                 C/B
    'Cause I don't think you know how I feel,
Am7                                      Fadd9
     I don't think you know what I feel,
G C C/B                                    Am7 Fadd9
        I don't think you know what I feel,
G  C
      You don't know what I feel!
