Verso 1:
C                   Am                            C
Escaping nights without you with shadows on the wall
                   G                         C
My mind is running wild tryin hard not to fall
                        Am                           C
You told me that you love me but say I'm just a friend
                   G
my heart is broken up into pieces

        C                     G
Cos i know i'll never free my soul
                 Am                       F
it's trapped between true love and being alone
                   C                       G
When my eyes are closed the greatest story told
               Am                               F
I woke and my dreams are shattered here on the floor

Refrão:
C                   G
Why oh why tell me why not me
Am                  F
Why oh why we were meant to be
     C                 G
Baby i know i could be all you need
Am             F
Why oh why oh why
         C
I wanna love you
    G                       Am
if you only knew how much i love you
    F
So why not me

Verso 2:

The day after tomorrow I'll still be around
To catch you when you fall and ever let you down
you say that we're forever our love will never end
I've tried to come up but it's drowning me to know
you'll never feel my soul
It's trapped between true love and being alone
when my eyes are closed the greatest story told
i woke and my dreams are shattered here on the floor

Refrão:
C             G
You won't ever know
Am             F
How far we can go
C             G
You won't ever know
Am             F
How far we can go (go)

Why oh why tell me why not me
why oh why we were meant to be
Baby I know I could be all you need
Why oh why oh why

Why oh why tell me why not me
Why oh why we were meant to be
Baby I know I could be all you need
Why oh why oh why oh why

I wanna love you
If you only knew how much I love you
so why not me
(why not me, why not me)
