Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
       D
I turn up my speakers
                       G
So I can drown my thoughts just a little bit quicker
                 D
Dancing barefoot in the dead of winter
                     G
So I can numb this heart that's full of splinters


Verse 2:
     D
They say time heals
                     G
All wounds but these clocks are at a standstill
                   D
And I'm counting every second that you're not here
               G
But only in my dreams do you appear

Pre-Chorus:
   A           G
Am I allowed to lay down my smile
     A         G
And be bitter just for a while?


Chorus:
 D                           A
  Don't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat
                            Bm
I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow
                   G
Could you try to take a look into my eyes
     N.C.           D
And tell me why oh why why why?
          G
Why oh why why why?
      A
Why oh why?


Verse 3:
         D
I close all the windows
                  G
Draw the curtains hoping that the sun knows
               D
All I see is you when the day glows
                 G
Reminding me that you are just a shadow


Verse 4:
    D
When I wake
                       G
For a split second in time, my heart does not ache
                   D
Thinking you'll be next to me, then I shake
                 G
To see an empty bed and all over I brake


Pre-Chorus:
   A           G
Am I allowed to lay down my smile
    A         G
And be bitter just for a while?


Chorus:
 D                           A
  Don't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat
                           Bm
I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow
                   G
Could you try to take a look into my eyes
     N.C.           D
And tell me why oh why why why?


Bridge:

 D                  Em
  I should have known when you were grinding your teeth
        Bm
(I should have known)
             A         D
That you were hiding your feelings from me, oh
 D                  E
  I should have known when you were tossing in your sleep
        G
(I should have known)
             A
That you were hiding your feelings from me


Chorus:
 D                           A
  Don't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat
                           Bm
I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow
                   G
Could you try to take a look into my eyes
     N.C.           D
And tell me why oh why why why?


Chorus:
 D                           A
  Don't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat
                           Bm
I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow
                   G
Could you try to take a look into my eyes
     N.C.           D
And tell me why oh why why why?
          G
Why oh why why why?
      A
Why oh why why why?



Why oh why why why?
