"BWhy, oh why, oh why?"
Asking "why, oh why, oh why?"
Why I never Gmlisten
I never learn my lesson (woah-oh-oh)

BAlways thought when I was younger
I'd have it figured out by now, oh
GmNow I know, because I'm older (older)
It ain't that easy (no, no, no)
BIf I never picked my act up (act up)
I can only assume we would've wrapped up
GmAll this fighting and the make-up (make-up)
It ain't that easy, no, no, no
[Pre-Chorus]
EWill I get myself together
Always in over my head
F#How did I end up back here again?
[Chorus]

"Why, oh why, oh why?"
GmWhy I never listen (woah-oh-oh)

Tells me every single time
"You don't know what you're Gmmissing"  (woah-oh-oh)

[Post-Chorus]
SEaturday, I live forever
Sunday, I wake up
TF#o messages and ten-thousand missed calls
Asked you "Bwhy, oh why, oh why?"
