Why Cant I (ver 2) by Phair Liz
Hey guys! just some stuff before you start...
Var= variation. The Outro has a few of them, though, don't know which variations.
In the intro, the "B" string has most of the bass note, apart from every 3rd lot where
"e" string has the bass note. Sorry, intro's a bit all over the place so I've marked on
tab where each bass note is to avoid confusion.
Chords used in this song:
C C(var) G G(var) Am(var) Am Am7 F F(var)
e|--0------0------3------3------0-------0------0------1------1---|
B|--1------3------3------1------3-------1------1------1------3---|
G|--0------0------0------0------2-------2------0------2------2---|

A|--3------3------2------x------0-------0------0------3------3---|
E|--0------0------3------x------0-------0------0------1------1---|
Whew. Now that's over and done with...
Enjoy the tab!

C G
Get a load of me, get a load of you
Am7
Walking down the street, and I hardly know you
F
It's just like we were meant to be
C G
Holding hands with you and we're out at night
Am7
Got a girlfriend you say it isn't right
F
And I've got someone waiting too
F
What if this is just the beginning
G
We're already wet, and we're going to go swimming
Am F C G
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Am F C G
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
F G
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Am F C G
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

2nd verse+chorus (same chord pattern as the first)
Isn't this the best part of breaking up,
Finding someone else you can't get enough of,
Someone who wants to be with you too.
It's an itch we know we are going to scratch,
Gonna take a while, for this egg to hatch.
But wouldn't it be beautiful...
Here we go, we're at the beginning
We haven't f****d yet, but my heads spinning
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Bridge:
Am F
High enough for you to make me wonder
Where it's goin'
Am F
High enough for you to pull me under
Somethin's growin'
F
out of this that we can control
G
Baby I am dyin'
3rd chorus (same as the first and second but single strum)
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
