(Intro.)

(Verse 1)
(C)Summers are hot, winter is cold
We (F)spin on an axis, and gravity holds us
(Dm)Down to the ground so we can't fly (C)
(C)Why?

(Verse 2)
Why do (C)fish breathe the water but we breathe the air?
Why do (F)numbers add up but life isn't fair?
And (Dm)somebody put the word "good" in "goodbye" (C)
(C)Why?

(Chorus)
There's (F)so many questions that I've just accepted
That I'll (C)never have answers to
But (F)I still get stuck on the ones about us
Like �g(Am)Why was the one thing I (G)wanted the most
The (F)one thing that I had to lose?" (C/E)
And �g(Dm)Why is the hardest
(G)�fWhy' in the world (C)you?" / / (C) / / (C) / / (C) / /

(Verse 3)
(C)What was the point in coming so close
To (F)having it all to let it all go?
Is there a (Dm)lesson or a reason that I'm supposed to find?
Am (F)I supposed to miss you for the (G)rest of my life?

(Chorus)
There's (F)so many questions that I've just accepted
That (C)I'll never have answers to
But (F)I still get stuck on the ones about us
Like �g(Am)Why was the one thing I (G)wanted the most
The (F)one thing that I had to lose?" (C/E)
And �g(Dm)Why is the hardest (G)'why' in the world (F) you?"

(Instrumental)

(Chorus)
Of (F)all of the questions that I've just accepted
That (C)I'll never have answers to
I can't (F)help but get stuck on the ones about us
Like �g(Am)Why did we dream just (G)so we could be
The (F)dream that didn't come (C/E)true?"
And �g(Dm)Why is the hardest '(C)why' in the world
Why is the hardest (G)�fwhy' in the world (C)you?"
