Am(strum once)
Are you frightened by the weight you possess oh
C (strum once)
Is this life just weightlessness
G (strum once)
The smoggy twilight in LA
I[G] can't thin[D/F#]k of one real thing to say
Am (strum once)
And Robbie Williams is walking in the canyons
C(strum once)
Forgets that we were friends
G(strum once) G D/F# (strum each once)
I guess it all depends on your mood
D/F# G (strum each once)
Why can't these meds be any damn good
And she said
W[Am]hy can't you be
L[C]ike my waterpik shower massager
A[G] sweet reliable mac[D/F#]hine
And to tell the truth [Am]I don't feel less alone
A[C] water massagers is the purest love I've ever known [G]
Am Am C/G Cadd9 (play the Am and C/G once)
Why can't you be
L[C]ike when I was [G]13
Am (strum once) Am
Why can't you be
L[C]ike an art house foreign movie
Frank and se[G]xy, red balloons and ennu[D/F#]i
And allude to me
Am Am C/G C (play the Am and C/G once and quickly)
And why can't you be
A[C] little more of a mystery[G]
Wh[G]y can't you be
T[Am]he part of me that's missing
Th[C]an leaving me for some other
Sa[G]id we're perfect for each other
And[F] I know we wont go spend our [Am]lives alone.[Cadd9] [G]
Am(strum Once)
Why can't you be
[Am]Lik[C]e an outsourced government contract
I'm a[G] fat cat gettin' away with anyt[D/F#]hing
Kicking some secret [Am]special powers
Illumination [C]rounds in showers
[G]Cause your tearing your hair out
W[D/F#]hile we can have a bed of flowers
And I said
[Am]Why can't you be
Like the [C]chicks out of the road
Some girls are [G]happy just to see me
Because you got[Am] moxie and a broken nose
Take him [C]away from this close
Sometimes a [G]blowjobs not enough
Am Am C/G C (play the Am and C/G once quickly)
Why can?t you play
(stop playin for a sec)
A little less rough
[G]Why can't you be
T[Am]he part of me that's missing
Instead of l[C]eaving me for some other
Say we're p[G]erfect for each other
F Am C G (strum both one time)
And I know we wont go spend our lives alone
( THE NEXT PART DONT STRUM SO MUCH AND DO A LIL MORE PICKIN)
C[F]an we.[Am]..
j[G]ust leave it be
And we can[F] live... [Am]our lives... [G]separately
Could you [F]forget...[Am] what happens to you
Y[G]ou and me
W[F]hen we're dead... an[Am]d you'll be dead
We'll have e[G]ternity
And I will spend it a[F]ll... [Am]missing you
S[G]eeing you with me
So while I'm aliv[F]e...[Am]
[G]I will always be
(BACK TO STRUMMIN)
W[Am]hy can't you be
L[C]ookin' a little deeper into me
Like [G]JD Salinger
Why do I [D/F#]challenge her
In all these surface[Am] ways
That you displease
Why c[C]an't you be
A little [G]more at ease
W[Am]hy can't you be
Like a [C]hand rolled cigarette
I?m not joking
[G]This masochistic se[D/F#]lf-pity of smoking
A[Am]nd this city ditty
I k[C]eep provoking you to [G]leave me
She said
[Am]Why can't you be
[C]Like a candle I can snuff
You?re still a [G]diamond in the rough
And I[D/F#] swear to god I've had enough
H[Am]ow can I [C]
call your bluff? [G]
