Why Chords

[Intro]
G  D  Am  C
G  D  Am  C
 
[Verse]
 G
Why do I
      D
Keep driving across these
 Am
County lines
 C
Knowing good and well
         G      D   Am  C
I can′t change her mind
 
     G
And how do I
      D
Sort through these emotions
      Am
Deep down inside
   C
I feel a commotion
 G   D   Am  C
Rise up high
 
 
[Chorus]
      G                               D
As I sit on this porch swing singin' prayers to the sky
       Am                   C
Don′t wanna be the man she said she forgot
    G  D         Am  C
But I don't know why
 
       G                           D
Never once have I stared down the barrel of a gun
        Am                           C
But my heart felt the pain as these strings came undone
    G  D         Am  C
And I don't know why

[Verse]
 G             D
Wishing for a dream to come true
            Am
But I keep waking up
      C
To a shadow of you
   G       D         Am  C
Around me everywhere I go
 
     G            D
And hoping for a lifetime with you
           Am
Is like an open door
      C
To a terrible view
      G
It′s time
    D          Am  C
For me to move o-o-on
 
 
[Chorus]
      G                               D
As I sit on this porch swing singin' prayers to the sky
         Am                   C
I don′t wanna be the man she said she forgot
    G  D         Am  C
But I don't know why
 
       G                           D
Never once have I stared down the barrel of a gun
        Am                           C
But my heart felt the pain as these strings came undone
    G  D         Am    C
And I don't know why I I I
 
 
[Instrumental/Solo]
G  D  Am  C

[Break]
 G               D
Now that I have opened my heart
        Am
Changed my desire
     C
I′m pressing restart
          G
'Cause I know
 D                   Am  C
Love just comes and goes
 
 
[Chorus]
      G                               D
As I sit on this porch swing singin' prayers to the sky
         Am                   C
I don′t wanna be the man she said she forgot
    G  D         Am  C
But I don't know why
 
       G                           D
Never once have I stared down the barrel of a gun
        Am                           C
But my heart felt the pain as these strings came undone
    G       D         Am    C
And I just don't know why I I I I I
