C     Em   Am         C
Why-yy-yy am I doin’ here?
 C     Em     Am        C
Why-yy-yy are you here too?
     C        A#           F      C
And what would life mean without you?
    C  Em   Am         C
And why are you so beautiful?

 [Verse 2]
 C  Em         Am           C
Why-yy do the stars shine bright?
 C          Em    Am C
And it ain’t even night
     C          A#        F          C
And what does a girl like you see in me?
    C   Em     Am      C
And why-yy are you so pretty?

 [Verse 3]
 C     Em  Am C
Why-yy-yy-yy-yy?
 C    Em  Am  C
Why-yy-yy-yy-yy?
C   Em          Am           C
Why why did you do what you did?
C             Em
Why you had a man
Am             C
Now you have a kid?
    C        A#       F      C
And why do I ask such silly questions?
C      Em          Am  C
Why-yy-yy don’t I kill myself
C      Em         Am    C
Why-yy-yy don’t I kill myself

 [Verse 4]
C                                   F        G
The time has come and I’ve learned all about you
C                     F            G
Now that I’m alone I live without you
        Am                             A#
Without you I take the day-to-day of living in my life
Am                                 A#
But I guess you had your way you got him, you’re his wife
     G
So goodbye!

 [Verse 5]
C                                    F            G
I could have settled down and lived forever with you
C                                   F      G
Shared the same bed and have a dozen kids with you
         C                         F     G
With a swing in the backyard with plastic ducks
         C                             F                  G
With a porch in the front yard with a mailbox with our name on it
     C                       F             G
But without you I can’t have any of these things
        Am                             A#
Without you I take the day-to-day of living in my life
     Am                              A#
But now I have to say I did want you for my wife
      G
So goodbye!

 [Verse 6]
C    Em        Am      C
Why-yy can’t I see the end
C                  Am  C
All I see is the beginning
        A#       F          C
Saying over and over in my mind
C         Em          Am      C
You once seemed like a possibility

 [Verse 7]
C   Em      Am             C
Why-yy do dreams like that die?
C   Em   Am      C
Why-yy I ask you why?
C              A#         F        C
Black are the skies that once were blue
C   Em       Am          C
Why-yy do I grieve over you?
