DEVIN TOWNSEND – Why?
from “Empath” (2019)

Verse 1:
G+G
Darling are you feeling alright? You look rather pale
  C majorC                    G+G
And all our friends are, all our friends are watching us
E minorEm    D MajorD
Why run away?
     G+G
Why, why, why?

Verse 2:
G+G
Darling are you seeing inside? The wolves are alive
  C majorC                 G+G
And all our faith is, all our faith is wrong
  E minorEm    D MajorD
But why run away?
     G+G
Why, why, why?

Verse 3:
  C majorC                G+G
And all we're feeling slowly comes unravelled
  C majorC                 G+G
And all we're fearing comes to pull us under
  D MajorD    C majorC
So why run away?
     G+G
Why, why, why?

Bridge:
DmDm       A minorAm             C majorC
So we feel so irrelevant, we're rolling televised
        G minorGm
Our pride will bolt us to the ground
    FF         DmDm        C majorC  AbAb
And the Earth itself will swallow us whole

Verse 4:
G+G
Darling, are you feeling alright? Take a look at your fear
  C majorC                 G+G
And all our fate is, all are faith in all!
  E minorEm    D MajorD
But why run away?
E minorEm             D MajorD
Why? When we can just walk away
     G+G
Why, why why?
