Good Riddance - Tell Me Why
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*No Capo*
Tuning: E A D G B E Standard
(INTRO)
D5 Bb5 F5 C5
D5 Bb5 F5 C5
D5 Bb5 F5 C5
D5 Bb5 F5 C5
Bb5 Bb5 A5
(VERSE)
D5 C5
To those in power it's always the same
D5 C5
Made so resistant to reason
D5 C5
Why just deny all the voices for change
Bb5 C5
we stumble and fall stripping
Bb5
the process away
D5 C5
So who stands to gain from the righteous refrain
D5 C5
They say you get what you pay for
D5 C5
So we breach one more soul toss them out on the dole
Bb5 C5
Our shroud of indifference belies
Bb5
our benevolent tones
(CHORUS)
D5 Bb5
So tell me why
F5 C5 D5
You fight for my life
Bb5 F5 C5
then you throw me away
D5 Bb5
Tell me why
F5 C5 D5
You legislate opinion
Bb5 F5
and say it's ok,
C5 Bb5
it's never ok!
A5
(VERSE)
D5 C5
So what makes a life, what divides where we fall
D5 C5
And who decides which are chosen
D5 C5
But while we fight for the good like it's all understood
Bb5
We lose what we love,
C5 Bb5
morality's frozen away
(CHORUS)
D5 Bb5
So tell me why
F5 C5 D5
You fight for my life
Bb5 F5 C5
then you throw me away
D5 Bb5
Tell me why
F5 C5 D5
You legislate opinion
Bb5 F5
and say it's ok,
C5 Bb5
it's never ok!
A5
(BUILD-UP)
D5
D5
Tell me why
(INTERLUDE/SOLO-PART)
Bb5 F5 C5
D5 Bb5 F5 C5
Bb5 Bb5
(BUILD-UP)
D5 Bb5 F5 C5
D5 Bb5 F5 C5
(OUTRO)
D5 Bb5
So what defines sacrament unholy vows
F5 C5
As you justify innocence somehow
D5 Bb5
Can I rationalize your morality
F5 C5 D5
As you legislate your sad opinions on me
