Em             C         G             D
I'm no barbie doll. I'm not your baby girl.
Em               C        G               B
I've done ugly things and I have made mistakes.

    Em            C              G            D
And I am not as pretty as those girls in magazines.
Em           C              G             B
I am rotten to my core if that's to be believed.
     C                                D
So what if I'm no baby bird hanging upon
your every word?
 C                                 D
Nothing ever smells of roses that rises out of mud.

Chorus
Em
Why do you love me?
C
Why do you love me?
G
Why do you love me?
D
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me?
Why do you love me?
Why do you love me?
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me?
Why do you love me?
Why do you love me?
It's driving me crazy
Em          C
Why do you love me?
G           B
Why do you love me?

You're not some little boy
Why you acting so surprised?
You're sick of all the rules
Well, I'm sick of all your lies

Now I've held back a wealth of shit,
I think I'm gonna choke
I'm standing in the shadows
with the words stuck in my throat
Does it really come as a surprise when
I tell you I don't feel good?
Nothing ever came from nothing, man
Oh man, ain't that the truth

Chorus

   C
I get back up and I do it again
   D
I get back up and I do it again
   C
I get back up and I do it again
   D
I get back up and I do it, I do it

A               E/G#             G       D/F#
I think you're sleeping with a friend of mine
F          C/E          D             Em
I have no proof but I think that I'm right
And you've still got the most beautiful face
It just makes me sad most of the time

I get back up and I do it again
I get back up and I do it again
I get back up and I do it again
I get back up and I do it
I do it again
Do it again
Do it again
Do it again

Chorus:
Why do you love me?
Why do you love me?
Why do you love me?
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me?
Why do you love me?
Why do you love me?
It's driving me crazy
Why do you love me?
Why do you love me?
Why do you love me?
It's driving me crazy

Why do you love me?
Why do you love me?
Why do you love me?
Why do you love me?
