[Verse 1]
       B G#m   E                   F#
Why do I,      choose the things I choose?
       B G#m      E                 F#
Why do I,  always find some lame excuse?
       G#m        E                F#
Why do I, not realize what I would do?
      E               F#          B G#m E F#
Oh, I wish I knew the reason why.

[Verse 2]
       B  G#m          E                F#
Why do you,  get that sad look on your face?
       B  G#m        E              F#
Why do you,    pull away from my embrace?
       G#m             E                F#
Why do you, see all my faults and my mistakes?
      E                 F#     B
Oh, I wish you knew the reason why.

[Refrain]
D#m                                E
Why do we treat each other like we do?
B                       F#
It’s like we never even try…
D#m                          E             B
Why can’t we get back to the love we knew?
C#m              F#  
Oh, why oh… baby why?

[Verse 3]
       B G#m         E                 F#
Why do we,   have to play the same old game?
       B G#m     E                  F#
Why do we,   run away from who's to blame?
          G#m              E                F#
Can’t we see, to lose this love would be a shame
      E                 F#     B     G#m
Oh, I wish you knew the reason why...
      E                 F#     B     G#m  E F# B
Oh, I wish you knew the reason why...
