Only God Knows Why

E
I've been sittin here
                B
Tryin to find myself
               A
I get behind myself
                   E
I need to rewind myself

Lookin for the payback
                  B
Listen for the playback
               A                   
They say that every man bleeds just
      E
 like me

And now I feel like number one
                B
Yet I'm last in line
                    A
I watch my youngest son
                         E
And it helps to pass the time
I take too many pills it helps to 
         B
ease the pain
                      A        
I made a couple of dollar bills 
                  E
still I feel the same

Everybody knows my name
                    B
They say it way out loud
               A
A lot of folks fuck me
                         E
It's hard to hang out in crowds

I guess that's the price you pay
             D
To be some big shot like I am
A
Outskirt stands and one night stands
E                            C#m
Still I can't find love
F#m                               
And when your walls come tumbling 
      C#m
down
       F#m        A
I will always be around

SOLO: E, B, D, A, E> 2x    C#m
F#m                               
And when your walls come tumbling 
      C#m
down
       F#m        A
I will always be around
E                           B
People don't know about the things I
 say and do
           D    A                 
They don't understand about the 
          E
shit that I've been through
It's been so long since I've been 
B
home
          A                        
I've been gone....I've been gone 
  E
for way too long
E                  B
Maybe I forgot all things I miss
              A                  
Oh somehow I know there's more to 
           E
life than this

I said it too many times
                  B
And I still stand firm
    A
You get what you put in
                         E
And people get what they deserve

Still I ain't seen mine
                D
No I ain't seen mine
          A
I've been giving just ain't been 
gettin
                            E
I've been walking down that line

So I think I'll keep on walking
        B
With my head held high
          A                  E
I'll keep moving on and only God 
knows why
     E            B
Only God.....only God
     A         E
Only God knows why
     E      D        A           
Only God....knows....why why why 
E                   D A
only God knows why
               E               D A
Take me to the river's...edge
               E                   
Take me to the river...hey hey hey
