Am(strum Once) Why can't you be Am C Like an outsourced government contract G D/F# I'm a fat cat gettin' away with anything Am Kicking some secret special powers C Illumination rounds in showers G Cause your tearing your hair out D/F# While we can have a bed of flowers And I said Am Why can't you be C Like the chicks out of the road G Some girls are happy just to see me Am Because you got moxie and a broken nose C Take him away from this close G Sometimes a blowjobs not enough Am Am C/G C (play the Am and C/G once quickly) Why can?t you play (stop playin for a sec) A little less rough G Why can't you be Am The part of me that's missing C Instead of leaving me for some other G Say we're perfect for each other F Am C G (strum both one time) And I know we wont go spend our lives alone ( THE NEXT PART DONT STRUM SO MUCH AND DO A LIL MORE PICKIN) F Am Can we... G just leave it be F Am G And we can live... our lives... separately F Am Could you forget... what happens to you G You and me F Am When we're dead... and you'll be dead G We'll have eternity F Am And I will spend it all... missing you G Seeing you with me F Am So while I'm alive... G I will always be (BACK TO STRUMMIN) Am Why can't you be C Lookin' a little deeper into me G Like JD Salinger D/F# Why do I challenge her Am In all these surface ways That you displease C Why can't you be G A little more at ease Am Why can't you be C Like a hand rolled cigarette I?m not joking G D/F# This masochistic self-pity of smoking Am And this city ditty C G I keep provoking you to leave me She said Am Why can't you be C Like a candle I can snuff G You?re still a diamond in the rough D/F# And I swear to god I've had enough Am C How can I G call your bluff?
