Why Am I The One

Chords

Standard

(Verse)
F#
  I've got enough on my mind
B
  That when she pulls me by the hand
F#
  She hasn't much to hold onto
B
  She's keeping count on her hands
F#                                    
  One, two, three days that I've been 
B   D#m  G#m   F#
Sleeping on my side

F#
  I finish kissing my dad
B
  So now I head back up the steps
F#
  Thinking about where I've been
B
  I mean it's always never like this
F#
  I wanna feel with the season
B
  I guess it makes sense
B                D#m       G#m
  That my life's become as vapid as
B           D#m    G#m
A night out in Los Angeles
B          D#m   G#m  F#m  C#
And I just wanna stay in bed


(Pre-Chorus)
B                 F#
I hold you like I used to
B                  F#
You know that I am home
B                 F#
So darling if you love me
                  G#m  D#m  B  C#
Will you let me know?


(Chorus)
F#
Or go on, go on, go on
                                 G#m             C#
If you've been thinking that the worst is yet to come
B            F#
Why am I the one
       B             C#
Always packing up my stuff?
F#
For once, for once, for once
                           G#            C#
I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong
B            F#
Why am I the one
       B             C#
Always packing up my stuff?


(Verse)
F#
  She's got enough on her mind
B
  That she feels no sorrow
F#
  I let my faith fill the air
B
  Now she's rolling down the window
F#
  Never been one to hold on
B
  But I need a last breath
B           D#m   G#m
  So I ask if she remembers when
B           D#m      G#m
  She used to come and visit
             B        D#m        G#m     F#       C#
Man, we were fools to think that nothing could go wrong


(Chorus)
F#
Or go on, go on, go on
                                 G#m             C#
If you've been thinking that the worst is yet to come
B            F#
Why am I the one
       B             C#
Always packing up my stuff?
F#
For once, for once, for once
                           G#            C#
I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong
B            F#
Why am I the one
       B             C#
Always packing up my stuff?
B                 F#
I think I kind of like it
      G#m                C#
But I might have had too much


(Bridge)
F#
I'll move back down
        B
To this western town
          G#m
When they find me out
        B            C#
Make no mistake about it

(Coda)
Why am I the one
       D#m           C#
Always packing up my stuff?
F#
Go on, go on, go on
                                 G#m             C#
If you've been thinking that the worst is yet to come
B            F#
Why am I the one
B                    C#
Always packing up my stuff?
F#
For once, for once, for once
                           G#m           C#
I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong
B            F#
Why am I the one
B                    C#
Always packing up my stuff?
B                 F#
I think I kind of like it
      G#m                C#
But I might have had too much
I'll move back down
