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

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

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

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

Bridge:
Dm              Am                          C
So we feel so irrelevant, we're rolling televised
               Gm
Our pride will bolt us to the ground
        F                 Dm                C   Ab
And the Earth itself will swallow us whole

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