“Why” by Lily Allen
( I happen to think this is a beautiful little song and it never got heard as it
was a B-side on the “Not Fair” EP…….couldn’t decide on standard tuning or Capo on
the 1st so I did both)
Intro
Eb Eb7 Ab Abm (2X)
Verse 1
Eb Eb7 A Abm
Why aren't I one of these interesting people
Eb Eb7 Ab Abm
Who's always got something to say?
Eb Eb7 Ab Abm
To not be contrived and to feel so alive
Eb Eb7 Ab Abm
And to never have wasted the day
Eb Eb7 Ab Abm
To go for long walks and have well-informed talks
Eb Eb7 Ab Abm
In an non-confrontational way
Eb Eb7 Ab Abm
Why aren't I one of these interesting people
Eb Eb7 Ab Abm Eb Eb7 Ab Abm
And why ………………………………won't you stay?
Chorus
Bb Eb
I'm still having the same conversation
Bb Ab
I've been having for years
Bb Eb
I just want to read and retain information
Bb Ab
Just face up to my fears
Bb Eb
I look at myself and it's so plain to see
Bb Ab
All I need is to change
Bb Eb
Not too much, I still want to be me
Bb Ab Abm
Everyone looks the same
Verse 2
Eb Eb7 Ab Abm
Why is my phone full of so many numbers
Eb Eb7 Ab Abm
And why doesn't anyone call?
Eb Eb7 Ab Abm
Maybe they think that I'm always too busy
Eb Eb7 Ab Abm
Or maybe I've no friends at all
Eb Eb7 Ab Abm
When I'm watching tv they're all out necking Es
Eb Eb7 Ab Abm
And well obviously I'm appalled
Eb Eb7 Ab Abm
Why is my phone full of so many numbers
Eb Eb7 Ab Abm Eb Eb7 Ab Abm
And why……………………………………… don't you call?
Chorus
Bb Eb
I'm still having the same conversation
Bb Ab
I've been having for years
Bb Eb
I just want to read and retain information
Bb Ab
Just face up to my fears
Bb Eb
I look at myself and it's so plain to see
Bb Ab
All I need is to change
Bb Eb
Not too much, I still want to be me
Bb Ab Abm
Everyone looks the same
Instrumental
Eb Eb7 Ab Abm (8X)
Chorus
Bb Eb
I'm still having the same conversation
Bb Ab
I've been having for years
Bb Eb
I just want to read and retain information
Bb Ab
Just face up to my fears
Bb Eb
I look at myself and it's so plain to see
Bb Ab
All I need is to change
Bb Eb
Not too much, I still want to be me
Bb Ab Abm
Everyone looks the same
Capo on first ( maybe a bit easier to play…..i don’t know)
