Only God Knows Why

          E
I've been sittin' here
         B
Tryin to find myself
        A
I get behind myself
            E
I need to rewind myself

        E
Lookin' for the payback
               B
Listen for the playback
              A
They say that every man bleeds
          E
Just like me

          E
And now I feel like number one
        B
Yet I'm last in line
           A
I watch my youngest son
            E
It helps to pass the time

           E
I take too many pills
            B
It helps to ease the pain
                   A
I made a couple of dollar bills
        E
Still I feel the same

     E
Everybody knows my name
            B
They say it way out loud
               A
A lot of folks fuck with me
                  E
It's hard to hang out in crowds

        E
I guess that's the price you pay
           D
To be some big shot like I am
A
Outskirt stands and one night stands
E                           C#m
Still I can't find love


F#m                                     C#m
And when your walls come tumbling down
       F#m        A
I will always be around

And when your walls come tumbling down
       F#m        A
I will always be around


E            B
People don't know about the things I say and do
           D    A                         E
They don't understand about the shit that I've been through
          B
It's been so long since I've been home

          A                          E
I've been gone... I've been gone for way too long
E       B
Maybe I forgot all things I miss

             A                              E
Oh somehow I know there's more to life than this
          E
I said it too many times
                  B
And I still stand firm

        A
You get what you put in
                         E
And people get what they deserve

        E
Still I ain't seen mine
                 D
No, I ain't seen mine
          A
I've been giving just ain't been gettin'
                            E
I've been walking down that line

           E
So I think I'll keep on walking
        B
With my head held high
          A                  E
I'll keep moving on and only God knows why
     E            B
Only God.... only God
     A         E
Only God knows why
     E      D        A           E                  D  A
Only God... knows... why why why only God knows why


               E              D  A
Take me to the river's...edge
               E                   D  A
Take me to the river...hey hey hey
