TITLE: Why Can't I
Lyrics and Chords
[Capo 2]
Get a load of me, get a load of you
Walking down the street and I hardly know you
It's just like we were meant to be
Holding hands with you when we're out at night
Got a girlfriend you say it isn't right
And I've got someone waiting, too
/ A - E / - F#m - / D E / :
What it is, it's just the beginning
We're already wet and were gonna go swimming
/ D - / E - /
{Refrain}
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact
That were gonna get down to it, so tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
/ F#m D A E / / D - / E - / 1st /
Whenever I think about you (4x)
/ A - / D - / F#m - / D - /
Isn't this the best part of breaking up
Finding someone else you can't get enough of
Someone who wants to be with you too
It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch
Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch
But wouldn't it be beautiful
Here we go, we're at the beginning
We haven't fucked yet but my head's spinning
{Refrain}
High enough for you to make me wonder, where it's going
High enough for you to pull me under, something's growing
Out of this that we can't control, baby I'm dying
/ F#m - D - / / E - - - - - /
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
/ F#m D A E / /
{Refrain}
Whenever I think about you (4x)
