[Verse 1]
[C]Keep away from me,
I'm a foreign kid, child
I was suckled by a she -wolf
in the wilderness
While I was [F]living with the birds
Living with the bees in a [C]wooden house
High up there in the trees
And every [G]single day I'd
wipe away a tear
And [F]ask myself the question
Why oh why
[G]Ooh a[C]h baby, why am I here?
Tell me
[F]Ooh ah baby, why am I here?
Oo[C]h ah baby, why am I here?
Every [G]single day I'd wipe away a tear
and [F]ask myself the question
[C]Why [F]am I h[C]ere?
Am I here?
Living in the world can be hard for you
Looking for some work
but there's nothing to do
Can you be[F]lieve it?
In this age of steel
There's [C]nothing left to think
and there's nothing left to feel
So you [G]crawl into a wall,
feel a lonely tear
[F]Ask yourself the question, why oh why?
[C]Ooh -ah baby, why am I here?
Tell me
[F]Ooh -ah baby, why am I here?
[C]Ooh -ah baby, why am I here?
Every [G]single day, I'd wipe away a tear
And [F]ask myself the [G]question,
[F]why oh why?
[G]Nothing anymore
seems to [F]make much sense to [C]me
[G]Searching all my life for a
[F]dream to set me [C]free
[F]Scream at night as tears fall
oh so [C]silently[Am]
Nothing else [Dm]mat ter[F]s
Nothing else matter[Fm]s
[F]You are mine to [C]me[G]
[C]Ooh ah baby, why am I here?
Tell me
[F]Ooh ah baby, why am I here?
Oo[C]h ah baby, why am I here?
Every [G]single day, I'd wipe away a tear
And [F]ask myself the question
Why oh why am [C]I here?
Ooh ah baby, why am I here?
Tell me
[F]Ooh, ah, baby, why am I [C]here?
Every [G]single day, I'd wipe away a tear
And [F]ask myself the ques[C]tion,
[F]why oh why?
There's a light inside, it comes from [C]above
It shows you the way,
and the way is love
If you [F]look into her eyes,
[F]then it's plain for you to see
That there's [C]nobody else
who can set [C]you free
No more [G]sleepless nights
bathed in your own tears
No more need to ask the question
Why oh why am I here?
