“Why” by Lily Allen ( I happen to think this is a beautiful little song and it never got heard as it was a B-side on the “Not Fair” EP…….couldn’t decide on standard tuning or Capo on the 1st so I did both) Intro Eb Eb7 Ab Abm (2X) Verse 1 Eb Eb7 A Abm Why aren't I one of these interesting people Eb Eb7 Ab Abm Who's always got something to say? Eb Eb7 Ab Abm To not be contrived and to feel so alive Eb Eb7 Ab Abm And to never have wasted the day Eb Eb7 Ab Abm To go for long walks and have well-informed talks Eb Eb7 Ab Abm In an non-confrontational way Eb Eb7 Ab Abm Why aren't I one of these interesting people Eb Eb7 Ab Abm Eb Eb7 Ab Abm And why ………………………………won't you stay? Chorus Bb Eb I'm still having the same conversation Bb Ab I've been having for years Bb Eb I just want to read and retain information Bb Ab Just face up to my fears Bb Eb I look at myself and it's so plain to see Bb Ab All I need is to change Bb Eb Not too much, I still want to be me Bb Ab Abm Everyone looks the same Verse 2 Eb Eb7 Ab Abm Why is my phone full of so many numbers Eb Eb7 Ab Abm And why doesn't anyone call? Eb Eb7 Ab Abm Maybe they think that I'm always too busy Eb Eb7 Ab Abm Or maybe I've no friends at all Eb Eb7 Ab Abm When I'm watching tv they're all out necking Es Eb Eb7 Ab Abm And well obviously I'm appalled Eb Eb7 Ab Abm Why is my phone full of so many numbers Eb Eb7 Ab Abm Eb Eb7 Ab Abm And why……………………………………… don't you call?
