Why Can’t I

5 -4 5 -4 5 5 -4 5 -5 -4
Get a load of me, get a load of you
-4 4 -4 4 -4
Walk-ing down the street
-4 4 -4 5 -4 4
And I hard-ly know you
3 3 4 4 -4 -5 5 4
It’s just like we were meant to be
5 -4 5 -4 5
Hold-ing hands with you
5 -4 5 -5 -4
And we’re out at night
-4 4 -4 4 -4
Got a girl-friend, you
-4 4 -4 5 -4
Say it is-n’t right
3 3 4 4 -4 -5 5 4
And I’ve got some-one wait-ing too
6 5 6 5 6 6 5 6 -6
What if this is just the be-gin-ning
5 6 6 5 6
We’re al-read-y wet
6 5 6 5 6 6 -6
And we’re gon-na go swim-ming

Chorus

7 -7 6 5
Why can’t I breathe
4 4 -4 5 5 -4 -4 5
When-ev-er I think a-bout you
7 -7 6 5
Why can’t I speak
4 4 -4 5 5 -4 -4 5
When-ev-er I talk a-bout you
6 5 6 6 6 4 6 5 6
It’s in-ev-i-ta-ble it’s a fact
6 5 6 5 6 6 6 -6
That we’re gon-na get down to it,
6 6 -6 7 -7 6 5
So tell me, why can’t I breathe
4 4 -4 5 5 -4 -4 5
When-ev-er I think a-bout you

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 tak a while for this egg to hatch
But wouldn’t it be beautiful
Here we go we’re at the beginning
We haven’t gone out
But my head is spinning
(to chorus)

(Bridge)

5 -4 5 -4 5
High e-nough for you
-4 5 -5 5 4 7 -7 -7 -6
To make me won-der where it’s go-ing
5 -4 5 -4 5 -4 5 -5 5 4
High e-nough for you to pull me un-der
7 -7 -7 -6 5 4 -4
Some-thing’s grow-ing out of this
4 -4 4 5 -3”
That we can’t con-trol
-3”3 -3”3 4 4
Ba-by I am dy-ing
7 -7 6 5
Why can’t I breathe
4 4 -4 5 5 -4 -4 5
When-ev-er I think a-bout you
7 -7 6 5
Why can’t I speak
4 4 -4 5 5 -4 -4 5
When-ev-er I talk a-bout you
7 -7 6 5
Why can’t I breathe
4 4 -4 5 5 -4 -4 5
When-ev-er I think a-bout you
4 4 -4 5 5 -4 -4 5
When-ev-er I think a-bout you
4 4 -4 5 5 -4 -4 5
When-ev-er I think a-bout you
4 4 -4 5 5 -4 -4 5
When-ev-er I think a-bout you

4 4 -4 5 5 -4 -4 5
-2 -2 3 -3 -3 3 3 -3
When-ev-er I think a-bout you
