Em 8x

[Verse 1, Rhythm calm]
Em
Walking down the streets you look into a dump.

You look into a dump and you say

Why why why     why why why.

[Verse 2, Rhythm]
Em
Running down the highway as fast as you can.

You throw a tin can and you say
Am
Why why why     why why why.


[Chorus]
         Em          G           Am             Em
Tell me why tell me why tell me why do you destroy
         C           D          Em    Em
and you try and you try to destroy.


[Verse 3, Rhythm]
     Em
I'm knocking on your door my knees are on the floor.

I get you on the phone and you say no.
Am
Why why why     why why why.
     Em
You gotta have a Porsche you gotta have a white horse.

You gotta be a California     Dream man.
Am
Why why why     why why why.


[Chorus]
         Em          G           Am             Em
Tell me why tell me why tell me why do you destroy
         C           D          Em    Em
and you try and you try to destroy.
         Em          G           Am             Em
Tell me why tell me why tell me why do you destroy
         C           D          Em    Em
and you try and you try to destroy.
