Why Does This Always Happen To Me/ Weird Al Yankovic (Poodle Hat, 2003) Em D C G I was watching my TV one night when they broke in with a special report Em D C G About some devistating earthquake in Peru Em D C G There were thirty thousand crushed to death, even more were buried alive Em D C G On the Richter scale it measured 8.2 C D G And I said, "God, please answer me one question?" C Bb C G "Why'd they have to interrupt 'The Simpsons' just for this?" Bb C G Bb C G What a drag, 'cause I was taping it and everything C G D And now I'll have to wait for the rerun to see the part of the show I missed chorus: C G Why does this always happen? Bb F Why does this always happen to me? C G Why does this always happen? Bb F (Why) Why does this always happen to me? C G Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba Bb F Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba Em D C G I was driving down the highway when all the traffic slowed to a crawl Em D C G There was a twelve-car pile-up, everybody dead Em D C G And I saw brains and guts and vital organs splattered everywhere Em D C G As well as my friend Robert's disembodied head C D G And I thought - Poor Rob, I just had lunch with him C Bb C G Hey, wait a minute, he still owes me money - what a jerk Bb C G Bb C G Well, there's five bucks that I'm never gonna see again C G D Plus now, on top of everything else, it looks like I'm gonna be late to work chorus: C G Why does this always happen? Bb F Why does this always happen to me? C G Why does this always happen? Bb F (Why) Why does this always happen to me? C G Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba Bb F Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba A Ba ba ba ba, ba ba Em D C G Oh, the other day, my boss said we were running low on toner Em D C G And he told me I should buy another case Em D C G Well, I told him I was busy, but he still just kept on asking Em D C G So, I turned around and stabbed him in the face (right in the face) C D G Oh, and wouldn't you know it, my knife got stuck C Bb C G I guess that's probably bound to happen now and then Bb C G Bb C G But I'm afraid I may have bent the tip a little C G D And I know that blade will never ever be quite as sharp again (quite as sharp again) Oh, tell me C G Why does this always happen? Bb F Why does this always happen to me? C G Why does this always happen? Bb F (Why) Why does this always happen to me? C G Why does this always happen? Bb F Why does this always happen to me?
