[Intro 1]
[G][D][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I w[D]as [G]wat[C]chi[G]ng [D]my[A][Bm]
[A]TV one night when they broke [G]in with a special re[D]port
About some [Bm]devastating
[A]earthquake in Peru
[G]The[D]re were thirty[Bm] thousand crushe[A]d to death,
even [G]more were buried [D]alive
On [Bm]the Richter scale it [A]meas
[Dsus4]ured 8.2[D]

[Verse 2]
And I [G]said, "God,
please [A]answer me one ques[D]tion?"
[G]"Why'd they have to in[C]ter[G]rupt 'The
[D]Simpsons' just for thi[G]s?"
[C]What [G]a d[D]rag, 'cause I was
[C]taping [G]it and [D]everything
And now I'll [G]have to wait for the re[D]run
to see the [A]part of the show I missed

[Verse 3]
[G]Why does this al[D]ways happen?
Why does this al[C]ways happen to [G]me?
Why does this al[D]ways happen?
(Why) Why does this al
[C]ways happen to [G]me?

[Verse 4]
Ba ba ba ba, [D]ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba, ba [C]ba ba ba [A]ba

[Verse 5]
I was [Bm]driving down the [A]highway when all
[G]the traffic slowed to [D]a crawl
There was a [Bm]twelve- car pile- up,
[A]everybody [G]dead[D]
And I saw [Bm]brains and guts and vi[A]tal
organs [G]splattered every[D]where
As well as [Bm]my friend Robert's
[A]disem[D]bodied head

[Verse 6]
And I [G]thought - Poor [A]Rob,
I just had [D]lunch with [G]him[D]
Hey, [G]wait a minute,
[C]he still [G]owes me [D]money - what a jerk
Well, [C]there's [G]five [D]bucks that
I'm [C]never [G]gonna [D]see again
Plus now, on [G]top of everything [D]else,
it looks like I'm [A]gonna be late to work

[Verse 7]
[G]Why does this al[D]ways happen?
Why does this al[C]ways happen to [G]me?
Why does this al[D]ways happen?
(Why) Why does this al
[C]ways happen [G]to me?

[Verse 8]
Ba ba ba [D]ba, ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba [C]ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba [D]ba ba, ba [G]ba

[A]

[Verse 9]
Oh, the [Bm]other day,
my [A]boss said we were [G]running low on [D]toner
And he [Bm]told me I should
[A]buy another [G]case[D]
Well, I [Bm]told him I was [G]busy,
but he [D]still just kept on asking
So, I [Bm]turned around [A]and stabbed him in
[D]the face (right in the face)

[Verse 10]
Oh, [G]and wouldn't you [A]know it,
my [D]knife got [G]stuck
I guess that's [C]probably [G]bound
[D]to happen now and then
But [C]I'm [G]afraid [D]I may have
[C]bent the [G]tip a [D]little
And I [G]know that blade will [D]never ever be [A]quite
as sharp again (quite as sharp again)

[Verse 11]
Oh, tell me
[G]Why does this al[D]ways happen?
Why does this al
[C]ways happen to [G]me?
Why does this al[D]ways happen?
Why does this al[C]ways
happen [G]to me?

[Verse 12]
Why does this al[D]ways
happen to me?
(Why does this al[C]ways
happen [G]to me?)
Why does this al[D]ways happen
to [C]me?
(Why does this always happen [G]to me?)

[Verse 13]
Ba ba [D]ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba
[C]Ba ba ba ba, [G]ba ba ba ba [D]ba ba
Ba ba ba ba,

Ba ba ba ba, [D]ba ba ba ba ba

[Verse 14]

Ba ba ba [G]ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
[D]Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba [C]ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba [G]ba ba
