Em Em                 D D                            C C                   G G
I was watching my TV one night when they broke in with a special report
Em Em D D C C G G
About some devistating earthquake in Peru
Em Em D D C C G G
There were thirty thousand crushed to death, even more were buried alive
Em Em D D C C G G
On the Richter scale it measured 8.2
C C D D G G
And I said, "God, please answer me one question?"
C C Bb Bb C C G G
"Why'd they have to interrupt 'The Simpsons' just for this?"
Bb Bb C C G G Bb Bb C C G G
What a drag, 'cause I was taping it and everything
C C G G D D
And now I'll have to wait for the rerun to see the part of the show I missed

chorus:

C C G G
Why does this always happen?
Bb Bb F F
Why does this always happen to me?
C C G G
Why does this always happen?
Bb Bb F F
(Why) Why does this always happen to me?

C C G G
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
Bb Bb F F
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba

Em Em D D C C G G
I was driving down the highway when all the traffic slowed to a crawl
Em Em D D C C G G
There was a twelve-car pile-up, everybody dead
Em Em D D C C G G
And I saw brains and guts and vital organs splattered everywhere
Em Em D D C C G G
As well as my friend Robert's disembodied head


C C D D G G
And I thought - Poor Rob, I just had lunch with him
C C Bb Bb C C G G
Hey, wait a minute, he still owes me money - what a jerk
Bb Bb C C G G Bb Bb C C G G
Well, there's five bucks that I'm never gonna see again
C C G G D D
Plus now, on top of everything else, it looks like I'm gonna be late to work

chorus:

C C G G
Why does this always happen?
Bb Bb F F
Why does this always happen to me?
C C G G
Why does this always happen?
Bb Bb F F
(Why) Why does this always happen to me?

C C G G
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
Bb Bb F F
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
A A
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba

Em Em D D C C G G
Oh, the other day, my boss said we were running low on toner
Em Em D D C C G G
And he told me I should buy another case
Em Em D D C C G G
Well, I told him I was busy, but he still just kept on asking
Em Em D D C C G G
So, I turned around and stabbed him in the face (right in the face)

C C D D G G
Oh, and wouldn't you know it, my knife got stuck
C C Bb Bb C C G G
I guess that's probably bound to happen now and then
Bb Bb C C G G Bb Bb C C G G
But I'm afraid I may have bent the tip a little
C C G G D D
And I know that blade will never ever be quite as sharp again (quite as sharp again)
Oh, tell me

C C G G
Why does this always happen?
Bb Bb F F
Why does this always happen to me?
C C G G
Why does this always happen?
Bb Bb F F
(Why) Why does this always happen to me?

C C G G
Why does this always happen?
Bb Bb F F
Why does this always happen to me?
C C G G
Why does this always happen?
Bb Bb F F
(Why) Why does this always happen to me?

C C G G
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
Bb Bb F F
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
C C G G
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
Bb Bb F F
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
C C G G
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba
