“Why” by Lily Allen
( I happen to think this is a beautiful little song and it never got heard as it
was a B-side on the “Not Fair” EP…….couldn’t decide on standard tuning or Capo on
the 1st so I did both)
Intro
(2X)
Verse 1
Why aren't I one of these interesting people
Who's always got something to say?
To not be contrived and to feel so alive
And to never have wasted the day
To go for long walks and have well-informed talks
In an non-confrontational way
Why aren't I one of these interesting people
And why ………………………………won't you stay?
Chorus
I'm still having the same conversation
I've been having for years
I just want to read and retain information
Just face up to my fears
I look at myself and it's so plain to see
All I need is to change
Not too much, I still want to be me
Everyone looks the same
Verse 2
Why is my phone full of so many numbers
And why doesn't anyone call?
Maybe they think that I'm always too busy
Or maybe I've no friends at all
When I'm watching tv they're all out necking Es
And well obviously I'm appalled
Why is my phone full of so many numbers
And why……………………………………… don't you call?
Chorus
I'm still having the same conversation
I've been having for years
I just want to read and retain information
Just face up to my fears
I look at myself and it's so plain to see
All I need is to change
Not too much, I still want to be me
Everyone looks the same
Instrumental
(8X)
Chorus
I'm still having the same conversation
I've been having for years
I just want to read and retain information
Just face up to my fears
I look at myself and it's so plain to see
All I need is to change
Not too much, I still want to be me
Everyone looks the same
Capo on first ( maybe a bit easier to play…..i don’t know)
