Why why why

Verse 1:
A
I was off
                       Gbm
Keying cars parked on radium lawns
     E
By suburbian moms
A
I called a friend
A
Let's meet at ten
       Gbm
Go wherever we want
                E
'Cause no one cares that we're gone

Pre-chorus:
A
This town don't got much to do
A
You and I haven't got much to lose
Gbm                                            E
Do you wanna rock in your room like we always do?
A
Talk about how fast we grew
A
And all the big dreams that we won't pursue
      Gbm                                         E
Then get in your car and laugh 'til we both turn blue

Chorus:
                   A
'Cause we are the helpless, selfish, one of a kind
     A
Millennium kids, that all wanna die
  Gbm                                          E
Walking in the street with no light inside our eyes
             A
We are the worthless, cursed with too much time
    A
We get into trouble and lose our minds
     Gbm                                         E
Something that I've heard a million times in my life

Generation Why

Verse 2:
  A
Parents think, we're fast asleep
         Gbm                              E
But as soon as we're home, we're sneaking out the window
A
'Cause at this rate of earth decay
              Gbm
Our world's ending at noon
                  E
Can we all just move to the moon?

Pre-chorus:
 A
This town don't got much to do
 A
And you and I haven't got much to lose
         Gbm                                    E
Do you wanna leave everyone in this place for good?

Chorus:
                   A
'Cause we are the helpless, selfish, one of a kind
     A
Millennium kids, that all wanna die
  Gbm                                          E
Walking in the street with no light inside our eyes
             A
We are the worthless, cursed with too much time
    A
We get into trouble and lose our minds
     Gbm                                         E
Something that I've heard a million times in my life

Why why why why why why why why

We're livin' night to night
 Dbm                          E
Why why why why why why why why

Since we're bound to die, oh
 A                            Gbm
Why why why why why why why why

Oh, what's the use in trying?
 Dbm                         E
Why why why why why why why why

And it's exactly why

Chorus:
                   A
'Cause we are the helpless, selfish, one of a kind
     A
Millennium kids, that all wanna die
  Gbm                                          E
Walking in the street with no light inside our eyes
             A
We are the worthless, cursed with too much time
    A
We get into trouble and lose our minds
     Gbm                                         E
Something that I've heard a million times in my life
