Why
written by Annie Lennox
from Diva 1992
as transcribed by Dan Cross and Ross C. Hoffman

2x: C  G/B (x2000x) Am G/B

C  G/B Am G/B
Why

C  G/B Am G
Why

Verse 1:

C                        G/B                    Am
How many times do I have to try to tell you

F            G  C                    G/B  Am  F  G
That I'm sorry for the things I've done

C
But when I start to try to tell you

G/B
That's when you have to tell me

Am                     F             G   C           G/B Am  F  G
Hey...this kind of trouble's only just begun

Bridge:

D                               Bmin9
I tell myself too many times

F#m7                Gmaj7  A
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut

D                             Bmin9
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words

F#m7      Gmaj7    A
That keep on falling from your mouth

Fmaj7
Falling from your mouth

D9
Falling from your mouth

Chorus:

Tell me...

C  G/B  Am G/B
Why

Verse 2:
I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking
And I've heard it said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides...
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
(This boat is sinking this boat is sinking)

Bridge:
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still Turn me inside out
Turning inside out turning inside out

Chorus:
Tell me...
Why
Tell me...
Why

Verse 3:
This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years we spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel?
'Cause I don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel

C
I don't think you know what I feel

Tab: (repeat 3x as C dies away)

You don't know what I feel
