1. [G] Escaping nights with-[Em] out you with shadows on the [G] wall
My mind is running [D] wild tryin hard not to [G] fall
You told me that you [Em] love me but say I'm just a [G] friend
My heart is broken [D] up into pieces Cos I [G] know. I'll never free my [D] soul
It's trapped bet-[Em] ween true love and being [C] alone
When my eyes are [G] closed the greatest story [D] told
I woke and my [Em] dreams are shattered here on the [C] floor

Chorus:
[G] Why oh why tell me [D] why not me, [Em] why oh why we were [C] meant to be
Baby [G] I know I could be all you [D] need, [Em] why oh why oh [C] why.
I wanna [G] love you, If [D] you only knew how much I [Em] love you, So [C] why not me

2. [G] The day after to-[Em] morrow I'll still be a-[G] round
To catch you when [D] you fall and ever let you [G] down
You say that we're for-[Em] ever our love will never [G] end
I've tried to come [D] up but it's drowning me to [G] know. You'll never feel my [D] soul
It's trapped bet-[Em] ween true love and being [C] alone
When my eyes are [G] closed the greatest story [D] told
I woke and my [Em] dreams are shattered here on the [C] floor

Chorus:
Tell me baby [G] Why oh why tell me [D] why not me, [Em] why oh why we were [C] meant to be
Baby [G] I know I could be all you [D] need, [Em] why oh why oh [C] why.
I wanna [G] love you, If [D] you only knew how much I [Em] love you, So [C] why not me.

[G] You won't ever [D] know, [Em] how far we can [C] go
[G] You won't ever [D] know, [Em] how far we can [C] go (go)

Chorus:
[G] Why oh why tell me [D] why not me, [Em] why oh why we were [C] meant to be
Baby [G] I know I could be all you [D] need, [Em] why oh why oh [C] why.
I wanna [G] love you, If [D] you only knew how much I [Em] love you, So [C] why not me

I wanna [G] love you, If [D] you only knew how much I [Em] love you, So [C] why not me
(why not me, why not me)
