[Verse 1]

F                      G
Once a upon a time and place unknown
        C                   Am
Lived a boy forgot and left all alone
F                G              C       Am
No one knew what he could do or of this fairytale
         F               G
Probably since before the day I was born
        C               Am
Call it fate but I was drowned with scorn
F                  G                 C              Am
No one tried to be on my side so I'd turn the other cheek
        F    G         C
I can't help my feeling sad
         F       G         Am
Though I guess it ain't too bad
        F                C
Calling from the setting sun
        G             E7
Took my hand and flew away


        F          G
Tell me why Tell me why
       C             Am
No one ever tells me why
         F          G                  C
Why they hate me and despise me when I haven't done a thing
       F        G             C             Am
In the rain all I feel is this never ending chill
      F                 G                  Am
But a trillion trillion trillion years had left me freezing cold
      F          G
Can I die? Can I die?
         C              Am
I'm just waiting 'til I die
      F                G                C
Never dreamed a single dream so kind in my entire life
       F          G              C              Am
No one knew, even cared for this fleeting fairy tail
        F                G                Am
Then it slipped into the seething sun and soon it sailed away

[vesrse 2]

         F                  G
All this time it bore right down to the core
        C                 Am
All the pain had torn and left me sore
F                    G                  C                Am
Right behind you had all this time been watching from my side
       F               G
Cannot look or hear or speak to me
        C                        Am
But you did "Your name, will you tell me it please?"
F                G
I can't give and I wish I did
      C                   Am
But I just don't have the tongue
        F         G     C
Crave a home I've never had
         F        G         Am
Though I guess it ain't too bad
            F                 C
"Let's just leave and go back home"
        G            E7
Take my hand and fly away


         F          G
Tell me why Tell me why
       C             Am
No one ever tells me why
        F                   G                C
Why you think you're just a kid when you can do so many things
      F         G             Am
On my own never known of this light leading me home
      F                 G                  Am
But a trillion trillion trillion years has taught me I'm alone
       F          G
"Can I try? Can I try?"
       C            Am
"Never know until I try"
            F                G              C
But they'll kill you if they see you trying now to save my life
       F           G            Am
In the rain all we feel is this never ending chill
          F             G                Am
But we'll slip into the seething sun and soon we'll sail away

[Bridge]

F                   G                  C
Day is done now and soon the dawn will break
 F                              G             C
Play 'til we drop so that we'll never have to wake
F            G                 C           Am
What if this place was made of only me and you?
   F                  G              Am
If just the world and everyone would all go away
   F                  G              E7
If just the world and everyone would all go away


        F          G
Tell me why Tell me why
        C                  Am
A small voice will tell me why
        F                G               C
No it's not the voice of you or I but of all man kind
      F                G               C         Am
Can't resist, we'll be missed That's a lie but I insist
           F            G                 Am
That we'll slip into the seething sun and soon we'll sail away

[Outro]

        F           G
Tell me why Tell me why
           C            Am
Though you answer to me "why?"
            F                    G                C
What's your name and where're we going? But hell that's the fun of life!
       F           G             C               Am
In the rain I don't care just as long as you are there
      F                 G                  Am
Cuz a trillion trillion trillion years has left me thinking clear
        F           G
Tell me why Tell me dear
        C             A7
There's ringing in my ear
        F                G                Am
Then we slipped into the seething sun and finally sailed away!
