Chorus:
        F#m                       E            Dmaj7
Tell me why, tell me why it's so hard to say goodbye
(Shit)
         F#m                 E       Dmaj7
And when I get inside of my mind, I lose my time
                   F#m
Thinkin' 'bout the times we had to thinkin'
'bout the time we spent
                 E                         Dmaj7
Tell me why you left when you told me this was
forever and
        F#m                       E
Tell me why, tell me why it's so hard to say
    Dmaj7
goodbye, yeah

              F#m
Lost too many people to this shit,
can't even speak upon this shit
                  E                      Dmaj7
I seen shit, I'm way too damn young, it shouldn't
need to be like this
             F#m
I swear that I'm way too damn numb to
even think about this shit
               E                       Dmaj7
But when it's late and I lay awake, I get to
tweakin' in this bitch
    F#m
Overthinkin', overdrinkin' Hennessy up in this bitch
         E                       Dmaj7
And I'ma face another 'wood 'til I can't
think up in this bitch
          F#m
'Cause if I keep thinking 'bout our memories
     E            Dmaj7
Then it's gon' be in memory of me

Chorus:
Tell me why, tell me why it's so hard
to say goodbye (Shit)
And when I get inside of my mind I lose my time
Thinkin' 'bout the times we had to thinkin'
'bout the time we spent
Tell me why you left when you told me this
was forever and
Tell me why, tell me why it's so hard to
say goodbye (Shit)

I can't count all the tears I cried,
so many sleepless nights
Watched all of my idols die, right
in front of my eyes
She asked why my heart so cold, and
I just can't even lie
I think that I'm better off, without
you with me tonight
Better off alone, 'cause I won't take it well if
You come in my life, just to go like the rest did
Why the fuck does God keep testin' me?
Put my heart to bed, let it rest in pieces

Chorus:
Tell me why, tell me why it's so hard
to say goodbye (Shit)
And when I get inside of my mind I lose my time
Thinkin' 'bout the times we had to
thinkin' 'bout the time we spent
Tell me why you left when you told me
this was forever and
Tell me why, tell me why it's so hard
to say goodbye, yeah

        F#m                      C#m           Dmaj7
Tell me why, tell me why it's so hard to say goodbye
(Shit)
         F#m                 C#m     Dmaj7
And when I get inside of my mind, I lose my time
                   F#m
Thinkin' 'bout the times we had to thinkin'
'bout the time we spent
                C#m                        Dmaj7
Tell me why you left when you told me this was
forever and
        F#m                      C#m
Tell me why, tell me why it's so hard to say
   Dmaj7
goodbye, yeah
