C
"Why, oh why, oh why?"
Asking "Why, oh why, oh why?"

C
Always thought when I was younger (Younger)
I would have it figured out by now, oh
Am
Now I know, because I'm older (Older)
It ain't that easy, no, no, no

If I never clean my act up (Act up)
My girl ain't sticking around, no
Always crying through her make-up (Make-up)
It ain't that easy, no, no, no

F
When will I get myself together?
G
Always in over my head
C                            G
How did I end up back here again?

Chorus:
          C
Asking "Why, oh why, oh why?" (Why, oh why, oh why?)
"Why, oh why, oh why?"
             Am
Why I never listen (Woah-oh-oh)
I never learn my lesson (Woah-oh-oh)
               F
She's saying "My, oh my, oh my"
Tells me every single time
                             G
"You don't know what you're missing" (Woah-oh-oh)
I never learn my lesson (Woah-oh-oh)

Saturday, I live forever
Sunday, I wake up (Wake up)
To messages and ten-thousand missed calls
(Missed calls)
Asking "Why, oh why, oh why?"

I keep on runnin' out of money (Money)
I don't know where it all goes
Memory's a little fuzzy (Fuzzy)
She's telling me I should know-oh

When wilI I get myself together?
Always in over my head (I'm over my head)
How did I end up back here again?

Chorus

Saturday, I live forever
Sunday, I wake up (Wake up)
To messages and ten-thousand missed calls
Asking "Why, oh why, oh why?"
"Why, oh why, oh why?"
Asking "why, oh why, oh why?"
"Why, oh why, oh why?"

When will I get myself together?
Always in over my head
How did I end up back here again?

Chorus

Saturday, I live forever
Sunday, I wake up
To messages and ten-thousand missed calls
Asking "Why?"
