Verse 1:
Dbm
This sinking feeling sets,
                      A
It feels just like a hole inside your chest.
A
I know you're thinking,
Dbm
No, no, no, no, it is easier said than done,
                         A
But please let me attest.
A
I know it's hard.


                                  Dbm
You're feeling like you're trapped,
Dbm
But that's how you react,
                 A
When you cannot see the light.
A
But try and see the light.
A
I'm telling you,
Dbm
No, no, no, no,
Dbm
You're the only one
Dbm
Standing in your way,
               A       Ab
Just take a breath, relax, and tell me…

Chorus:
A    E
Why?
                B           Dbm
Please tell me why do we worry?
A    E
Why?
           B        Dbm
Why do we worry at all?
A    E
Why?
              Ab7           Dbm
Just tell me why do we worry?
        A                            Ab   Ab7             Dbm
When worry is never helping tell me why worry at all?

Verse 2:
Dbm
Why do we insist,
                     A
On crossing Bridges that do not exist?
A
Let's take these issues
Dbm
Step by step by step, to work it out,
Dbm                                   A
Day by day by day we're falling down,
     A
But life goes on.
     A
I've got some questions
Dbm
Are you sick of feeling' sorry?

-Uh huh-
Dbm
And people saying not to worry?

-Uh huh-
A
Sick of hearing this hakuna matata motto,

From people who won the lotto,
A
We're not that lucky.
Dbm
Have you noticed that you're breathing?
-Uh huh-
Dbm
Look around and count your blessings,
-Uh huh-
    A
So when you're sick of all this stressing and guessing I'm suggesting
                      Ab
you turn this up and let them hear you sing it.

Chorus:
A    E
Why?
                B           Dbm
Please tell me why do we worry?
A    E
Why?
           B        Dbm
Why do we worry at all?
A    E
Why?
              Ab7           Dbm
Just tell me why do we worry?
        A                            Ab    Ab7           Dbm
When worry is never helping tell me why worry at all?

Bridge:
Dbm                                A
Chin up, quit actin' like you're half dead.
                Dbm
Tears can only half fill how you’re feeling.
A
Don't worry, be happy baby.
Dbm                     A
Stand up, life is too damn short,

That clock is ticking.
A
Man up, if you feel me,

Everybody sing it.

Chorus:
A     E

                B            Dbm

Just tell me why do we worry?
        A                            Ab    Ab7
When worry is never helping tell me why worry at all?

A    E
Why?
                B           Dbm
Please tell me why do we worry?
A    E
Why?
           B        Dbm
Why do we worry at all?
A    E
Why?
              Ab7           Dbm
Just tell me why do we worry?
        A
When worry is never helping tell me
 Ab
I'm not buying what they're selling
        A                            Ab        -nc-
So if worry's never helping tell me why why worry at all?
