E5 D5 C5 G5 I was watching my TV one night when they broke in with a special report E5 D5 C5 G5 About some devistating earthquake in Peru E5 D5 C5 G5 There were thirty thousand crushed to death, even more were buried alive E5 D5 C5 G5 On the Richter scale it measured 8.2 C5 D5 G5 And I said, "God, please answer me one question?" C5 Bb5 C5 G5 "Why'd they have to interrupt 'The Simpsons' just for this?" Bb5 C5 G5 Bb5 C5 G5 What a drag, 'cause I was taping it and everything C5 G5 D5 And now I'll have to wait for the rerun to see the part of the show I missed chorus: C5 G5 Why does this always happen? Bb5 F5 Why does this always happen to me? C5 G5 Why does this always happen? Bb5 F5 (Why) Why does this always happen to me? C5 G5 Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba Bb5 F5 Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba E5 D5 C5 G5 I was driving down the highway when all the traffic slowed to a crawl E5 D5 C5 G5 There was a twelve-car pile-up, everybody dead E5 D5 C5 G5 And I saw brains and guts and vital organs splattered everywhere E5 D5 C5 G5 As well as my friend Robert's disembodied head C5 D5 G5 And I thought - Poor Rob, I just had lunch with him C5 Bb5 C5 G5 Hey, wait a minute, he still owes me money - what a jerk Bb5 C5 G5 Bb5 C5 G5 Well, there's five bucks that I'm never gonna see again C5 G5 D5 Plus now, on top of everything else, it looks like I'm gonna be late to work chorus: C5 G5 Why does this always happen? Bb5 F5 Why does this always happen to me? C5 G5 Why does this always happen? Bb5 F5 (Why) Why does this always happen to me?
