[Hook]
C G
Why is it that you always take it out on me?
Am N.C.
Is it what you need to make your life complete?
[Instrumental]
C G Am F
[Verse 1]
C
He said, “Houston, we’re going down.”
G
As he took his last step out of town
Am
His faded dreams and memories
F
Were nothing more than lies I digress
C G
Have you seen my alter world of make believe?
Am F C
It always just convinces me that everyone will disappear
[Chorus]
G
Why is it that you always take it out on me?
Am F
Is it what you need to make your life complete?
C G
Why is it that you always take it out on me?
Am
One day you will see
F
That the rest is history.
[Verse 2]
C
Open eyes and fragile minds
G Am
Never seemed to hold me back till now.
Should I stay or should I go?
F
I’ll never seem to know
C
Or I could give it up now
And I’ll see
I never should have left you
G
Because of me,
I’ll second guess my virtue
Am
You were the one
F
I wish that I could hold you near
But I’m too late
[Pre-Chorus]
C
You said you needed time
G
Too bad my watch is broken
Am
Our lives fell out of line
F
I’m breaking down
[Chorus]
C G
Why is it that you always take it out on me?
Am F
Is it what you need to make your life complete?
C G
Why is it that you always take it out on me?
Am
One day you will see
F
That the rest is history.
[Bridge]
C G
Those nights that we shared,
Your eyes lit up the heavens.
Am F
And when I was scared,
My cheeks were sore from smilin’
C G
And I was unaware
Am
But you have helped me catch my breath
F
She whispers that you haven’t seen nothing yet
[Chorus]
C
(So tell me why)
G
Why is it that you always take it out on me?
Am F
Is it what you need to make your life complete?
C G
Why is it that you always take it out on me?
Am
One day you will see
F
That the rest is history.
C G
Why is it that you always take it out on me?
Am F
Is it what you need to make your life complete?
