That Is Why Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Tod[C]ay I sat and smoked[Am]
[C]myself [G]to cancer
Thinking about the dancer at the [C]bar[F][C]
Well [F]how was I to [G]know
That a [Ab]crush could [E]just [Am]implode
'Til it [F]became a grudge
ec[Fm]lipsing every star
[G]

[Verse 2]
And [C]yes I know my [Am]addictions
[C]run [G]the gamut
The drugs, the smokes,
the booze, [C]the [Am]24
But [C]you can't [F]make the
turkey [G]colder
[Ab]Or skew me [E]less [Am]bipolar
Let me [F]list the things [Fm]about you I [F]abhor
[G]

[Verse 3]
Horrible, you're
[C]So eas[Dbdim]y, talk s[A]leazy[G][A]
[Dm]You led me off the plank[Am]
and left me queasy
[F]An d that is why
[G]You can't rock my [C]world
[Am]You

[Verse 4]
[C]swore that you were
taken when I [G]met you
But yes you did undress me
from [C]afar[Am][C]
[F]A genteel concu[G]bine
You [E]skip amongst the [Am]mines
Just a pro[F]duct of the
[Fm]endless empty grind
[G]

[Verse 5]
You [C]lack the curves that [Am]prove
[C]a proper l[G]ady
A slender slave with sluttish,
sleepy [C]eyes[Am][C]
Though [F]once I [G]was emoting
[E]An d Bono-lyric [Am]quoting
I have [F]found another [Fm]be
my guest and die
[G]

[Verse 6]
With starry [C]eyes, she's
Warm-glancing, entrancing
[G]entran[A]cing
[Dm]And now I'm through with
[C]all your [Am]sick sad ranting
And [F]that is why
[G]You can't rock my [C]world

[Verse 7]
I've [Am]lost [C]you[G]
And [F]now I [C]glide through the silky [Am]sky
It's so [C]blue[G]
And [F]you're just [G]old [C]news
That [Am]is why
So [G]screwed
Ca[F]daver gone [C]blue
This has died
Your ma[Am]chine has grown gangrene
[G]And now I see[F] right through your lie[C]s

[Verse 8]
[C]With
Ripe wonder, I [Dm]plund[A]er
[Dm]Her village now [G]that I know
[Am]that I've become her
[F]An d that is why
[G]You can't rock my[C][E]
That is [Am]why
[F]That is [G]why
You'll never ever ever ever ever
ever in a god damn millennium
[G]Be [Dm]my[G][C][B][G][Am][G][F][Ab][C]
[Am]
[Dm][C][Am][C]
[Am][G][C][Am][C]
[Am]girl

[Outro 1]
