                 Em            G                          F
     I'm working here and as I press the wrong button 
                  Em
     They'll disappear
                 Em            G                          F
     I'm walking here and as I crush the ants below me 
                 Em
     I'm full of fear
         Em                                 G        
     Oh, can we ever find out? I'll ask the mountain,
                Em                    G         F
     Oh, can he tell me? I'll ask the sky,
                  Em
     Does it know why? 
     Em            C      C#
     Why?   Why?   Why?   Why?  (One, two, three, four...)

                  Em            G                   F
     I man the controls and I'm trying to control
                                        Em
     Oh, something that can never be controlled, oh
         Em

                  G                  Em                G
     I'll ask the insect how does he fly, I'll ask the insect again
     F                             Em
     Oh, does he feel pain when he dies, when he dies
             Em
     When he dies, when he dies, when he dies, when he dies
             Em            Em (strum once)
     When he dies, when he dies
