Tell Me Why by Three Days Grace
Tell Me Why
Highest Vocal Note in this Key:
A#
TIP: Transpose these chords (using the transpose tool on the left) until the key you are in corresponds to the
highest note you are able to sing.
TIP: I highly recommend transposing and subtracting the difference with the use of a capo, so that you can
strum along with easier chords.

How'd I wind up here again?
It's like I'm always getting blood on my hands
All it takes is one and I'm gone and a thousand 'til the end
How'd I wind up here again?
You take me to the edge
You push me too far
You watch me slip away
I'm holding on too hard
Tell me why!
Does everything that I love get taken away?
From me!
Why?
Does everything that I love get taken away?
You take me to the edge
Push me too far
Watch me slip away
Holding on too hard
Tell me
Why?
Does everything that I love get taken away?
From me?
How come nothing ever lasts?
It goes from good to bad to worse so fast
All it takes is one and I'm gone and you can't erase the past
How come nothing ever lasts?
You take me to the edge
You push me too far
You watch me slip away
I'm holding on too hard
Tell me why!
Does everything that I love get taken away?
From me!
Why?
Does everything that I love get taken away?
You take me to the edge
Push me too far
Watch me slip away
Holding on too hard!
Tell me
Why?!
Does everything that I love get taken away?
From me?
(From me?)
Here I am alone again
Alone again
Here I am alone again
How come nothing ever lasts?
It goes from good to bad to worse so fast
Tell me why!
Does everything that I love get taken away?
From me!
Why?
Does everything that I love get taken away?
You take me to the edge
Push me too far
Watch me slip away
Holding on too hard!
Tell me
Why?!
Does everything that I love get taken away?
Tell me
Why?!
Does everything that I love get taken away?
From me?
