   Why-------------?            Why------------?
[Estrofa]
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!
[Estrofa]
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 
     That's why it hurts so bad, 
   Bm9                         D/F#              Gadd9 
To hear the words that keep on falling from your mouth, 
Fmaj7                     D9 
Falling from your mouth,  falling from your mouth!
[Estribillo]
         C     C/B  Am7  Fadd9  G C      C/B  Am7  Fadd9 
Tell me,...why---------?          ...Why---------?
[Estrofa]
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 G            C 
Be - sides, ...why can't you see   this boat is sinking? 
              C/B                             Am7  Fadd9 
(This boat is sinking, this boat is sinking!)
[Estrofa]
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!
[Estribillo]
         C     C/B Am7  Fadd9     G   C      C/B  Am7  Fadd9 
Tell me,...why---------?     Tell me, ...why---------?
[Estrofa]
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!
[Estrofa]
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!
