E B7 E E
I had to get out
E B7 E E
My body couldn't weather the drought
       A
And if I could’ve stayed
       A
You wouldn't see me this way
                                 E   B7   E   E
But we don't always get what we want


[Verse]
E   B7             E   E
I thought I was patient
E                  B7        E   E
Waiting for the seasons to change
     A
But nobody else
        A
In this Bible-belt
                                    E   B7   E   E
Was standing quite still enough for me


[Chorus]
A
Why
A
Why must everything
            E  A  E
Happen at once?
     A
I’m waking, I'm rising, I'm moving
A                 E   
In sync with the sun
        B7    E
And I always do


[Verse]
E   B7   E   E
I had to get out
E             B7         E   E
My skin was losing its shine
       A
And if I could've stayed

You wouldn't see me this way
                                       E   A   E   E
But I'm young and I don't know what I want


[Chorus]
A
Why
A
Why must everything
            E  A E
Happen at once?
    A
I'm waking, I’m rising, I’m moving
                 E
In sync with the sun
     B7   E   E
And I always do
   A
I know that I'm heavy
                                  E  B7   E   E
And I’m sorry for crushing you, darling
  A
I know that I'm heavy
                            E
And I'm sorry for crushing you
       B7     E
Like I always do
       B7     E
Like I always do
       B7     E
Like I always do
