Verse:
D
Why do I lie awake at night
G D
Think back as for as I can
Em D/F#
To the sound of my father's life outdoors
G A
At the thought of Sputnik in free flight
D
Before I could fashion my poverty
G D
Before I distrusted the night
Em
Must've known something
D/F#
I must've known something
G A
I live for those times tonight

D
Why why why
G A
Why mama why
D G
Why can't I sleep in peace tonight
D A Bm
Underneath the satellite sky
Verse:
D
It can't be easy for the children
G D
I'm hollow before my time
Em D/F#
It looks like a desert here to me
G A
Where's the promise of youth for my child
D
Where are the faraway kingdoms of dreams
G D
We've been to the moon, there's trouble at home
Em D/F#
Vanished in the mist with St Nicholas and
G A
The ghettos and war zones
Chorus:
D
Why why why
G A
Oh Why mama why
D G
Why can't I sleep in peace tonight
D A Bm
Underneath the satellite sky

D
Oh why why why

Oh why mama why

Why can't I sleep in peace tonight

Underneath the satellite sky
Verse:
D
I want to stand out in the middle of the street
G D
And listen to the stars
Em D/F#
I want to hear their sweet voices
G A
I want to feel the big bang rattle my bones
D
Laugh with the children
G D
I want the spark to ignite
Em D/F#
Before we find out just what it means
G A
To be born into these times
Chorus:
D
Why why why
G A
Oh why mama why
D G
Why can't I sleep in peace tonight
