C#m
It's all, but it ain't
                  A
It's all, but it ain't
               F#m
So where do I start?

C#m
It's only so vain
               A
So what did I gain?
              F#m
I gave it my heart

C#m
I told myself, if I had the wealth
                  B/D#
I could buy my way out of everything

Chorus:
                 E                   G#
Why'd I have to be such trouble to please?
               C#m               A               E
It wouldn't be me, oh if it was easy, if it was easy
                  G#
Such trouble to please
               C#m              A
It wouldn't be easy, if it was me

                 E       G#        C#m       A
Why'd I have to go and break your heart for kicks?
                 E       G#       C#m       A
Why'd I have to go and break what can't be fixed?

It's all what it ain't
It's all but it ain't
So where does it start?

I want what I had
I want it so bad
I gave it my heart

I told myself, if I had the wealth
I could buy my way out of everything

Chorus

Why'd I have to go and break your heart for kicks?
Why'd I have to go and break what can't be fixed?

Chorus

Why'd I have to go and break your heart for kicks?
Why'd I have to go and break what can't be fixed?
Why'd I have to go and break your heart for kicks?
Why'd I have to go and break what can't be fixed?

Why'd I have to go and break your heart for kicks?
