[Intro]
Am Dm Am
[Verse 1]
Dm
I'm watching my friends all succeed
Am
Honestly, they deserve it
Dm
But I'm selfishly over here asking:
Am
“Why not me?”
Dm
We're all driving to the same place
Am
I'm just stuck in the slow lane
Dm
I impatiently wait while they pass me
Am
Why not me?
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
When I'm down and biting the dust
Dm
A little voice is shouting “get up”
Am
'Cause when it hurts, I'm brushing it off
N.C.
Dig down deep and say
[Chorus]
Am
Why not me?
Am
With the odds up against me
Dm
I'm not gonna let me down
Am
Can't stop me
Am
Might be down for the count
Dm
But don't you ever count me out
Am Dm
I take shots of pain, watch that flicker turn to flame
Am Dm
Dig down deep, say ”why not me?”
[Verse 2]
N.C.
Fixated, I sharpen my teeth
Am
Underdog's getting hungry
Dm
I've been biding my time, I've been waiting
Am
Hide and seek, what I'm missing
Dm
The thoughts of me giving up fade away
Am
'Cause I live it, I breathe it, I can't be defeated
Dm Am
That's when I say, “why not me?”
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
When I'm down and biting the dust
Dm
A little voice is shouting “get up”
Am
'Cause when it hurts, I'm brushing it off
N.C.
Dig down deep and say
[Chorus]
Am
Why not me?
Am
With the odds up against me
Dm
I'm not gonna let me down
Am
Can't stop me
Am
Might be down for the count
Dm
But don't you ever count me out
Am Dm
I take shots of pain, watch that flicker turn to flame
Am Dm Fmaj7 Dm Fmaj7 Dm
Dig down deep, say ”why not me?”
[Bridge]
F
Hide and seek, what I'm missing
Dm
The thoughts of me giving up fade away
F
'Cause I live it, I breathe it, I can't be defeated
Dm E
That's when I say
[Chorus]
Am
Why not me?
Am
With the odds up against me
Dm
I'm not gonna let me down
Am
Can't stop me
Am
Might be down for the count
Dm
But don't you ever count me out
Am Dm
I take shots of pain, watch that flicker turn to flame
Am Dm
Dig down deep, say ”why not me?”
[Outro]
Am Dm Am Dm
Why not me?
