A                    G                   E
My brain drifts back to better days we've been through
     A               G              A
Like sitting on blacktop of the school grounds
    A               G            E
The love I bitched about I finally found


[Chorus]
    D        A          G        F#m
But now it's gone and I take the blame
           D             E                A     N.C.
So there's nothing I can do but take the pain... why?

A   G   x2


[Verse 2]
N.C.  A             G           A
Now I dwell on what you remind me of
  A                    G           E
A sweet young girl who sacrificed her love
    A           G             A
As for me, I am blind without a cause
    A        G             E
And now I realize what I have lost


[Chorus]
       D         A           G        F#m
It was something real that I could've had
      D                   E                   A    N.C.
Now I play the fool whose stable soul's gone bad... why?

A   G   x4


[Bridge]
A                    G                  E
  Tell me, well, the words i might have said
A                         G              E
  That's pumping pressure deep inside my head
A             G               E
  Was it bad enough to be too late?
A                  G                  E
  Just tell me the words I might have ate
    G                  E
The words I might have ate
    G                  E
The words I might have ate

A   G   x4


[Chorus]
N.C. D        A          G        F#m
 But now it's gone and I take the blame
           D             E                A     N.C.
So there's nothing I can do but take the pain... why?
A   G
A   G
Why?
A   G
Why?
A   G
Why?  Oh...
A   G
Why?
A   G
Why?
A   G
Why?
A   G
