Standard (EADGBE)

Why do I, choose the things I choose?

Why do I, always find some lame excuse?

Why do I, not realize what I would do?

———

Oh I wish I knew the reason why.

Why do you, get that sad look in your face?

Why do you, pull away from my embrace?

Why do you, see all my faults and my mistakes?

Oh I wish you knew the reason why.

Refrain

Why do we treat each other like we do?

It’s like we never even try

Why can’t we get back to the love we knew?

Oh, why oh… baby why?

Why do we, have to play the same old game?

Why do we, run away from who's to blame?

Can’t we see, to lose this love would be a shame

Oh I wish we knew the reason why…

(Repeat Refrain)
