Am(strum once)
Are you frightened by the weight you possess oh
 C (strum once)
Is this life just weightlessness
         G (strum once)       
The smoggy twilight in LA
 G5          D5
I can't think of one real thing to say
 Am (strum once)
And Robbie Williams is walking in the canyons
 C(strum once)
Forgets that we were friends
           G(strum once)              G5 D5 (strum each once)
I guess it all depends on your mood
                         D/F#  G (strum each once)
Why can't these meds be any damn good




And she said
 A5
Why can't you be
 C5
Like my waterpik shower massager
 G5                  D5
A sweet reliable machine
                      A5
And to tell the truth I don't feel less alone
 C5                                                    G5
A water massagers is the purest love I've ever known 
 A5              A5 C5 C5 (play the A5 and C5 once) 
Why can't you be
 C5              G5 
Like when I was 13
 A5 (strum once) A5            
Why can't you be
 C5
Like an art house foreign movie
            G5                        D5   
Frank and sexy, red balloons and ennui

And allude to me
 A5              A5 C5 C5 (play the A5 and C5 once and quickly) 
And why can't you be
 C5                          G5
A little more of a mystery
 

  G5
Why can't you be
 A5
The part of me that's missing
  C5
Than leaving me for some other
  G5
Said we're perfect for each other
   F5                            A5            C5 G5
And I know we wont go spend our lives alone.
 Am(strum Once)
Why can't you be
A5 C5
Like an outsourced government contract
     G5                              D5
I'm a fat cat gettin' away with anything
                    A5
Kicking some secret special powers
             C5
Illumination rounds in showers
G5
Cause your tearing your hair out
 D5
While we can have a bed of flowers




And I said
A5
Why can't you be
         C5
Like the chicks out of the road
               G5
Some girls are happy just to see me
               A5
Because you got moxie and a broken nose
         C5
Take him away from this close
            G5
Sometimes a blowjobs not enough
A5                A5 C5 C5 (play the A5 and C5 once quickly) 
Why can?t you play
 (stop playin for a sec)
A little less rough

G5
Why can't you be
 A5
The part of me that's missing
            C5
Instead of leaving me for some other
           G5
Say we're perfect for each other
      F5                              A5        C5 G5 (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)

 F5     A5
Can we... 
 G5
just leave it be
          F5        A5           G5
And we can live... our lives... separately
          F5        A5         
Could you forget... what happens to you
 G5
You and me
 F5                   A5
When we're dead... and you'll be dead
            G5
We'll have eternity
                     F5     A5
And I will spend it all... missing you
 G5
Seeing you with me
                 F5   A5     
So while I'm alive... 
G5
I will always be






(BACK TO STRUMMIN)
 A5
Why can't you be
 C5
Lookin' a little deeper into me
     G5
Like JD Salinger
         D5
Why do I challenge her
                    A5
In all these surface ways

That you displease
     C5
Why can't you be
         G5
A little more at ease

 A5
Why can't you be
       C5
Like a hand rolled cigarette

I?m not joking
G5                  D5
This masochistic self-pity of smoking
 A5
And this city ditty
   C5                    G5
I keep provoking you to leave me

She said
A5
Why can't you be
C5
Like a candle I can snuff
               G5
You?re still a diamond in the rough
     D5
And I swear to god I've had enough
 A5        C5
How can I 
                  G5
call your bluff? 


ENJOY
