Verse 1
Why can't I be good? (D major)
Why can't I (A major) act like a man?
(G major) Why (A major) can't I be good
and do what other men can (D major) ?
Why can't I be good
and make something (G major) of this life?
If I (A major) can't be a god,
let me be more than a wife
Why can't I be (D major) good?
(G major) Why can't I be good? (A major)
(D major) Why can't I be good?
(G major) Why can't I be (D major) good? (A major)
(D major) Don't wanna be weak,
I (G major) wanna be strong
Not a (A major) fat, happy weakling
with two useless arm (D major) s
A mouth that keeps moving
with (G major) nothing to say
An (A major) eternal baby
who never moved away
Why can't it (D major) be good?
(G major) Why can't it be good? (D major) (A major)
(D major) Why can't it be good?
(G major) Why can't it (D major) be good? (A major) (D major)
I look in a mirror with (G major) a feeling of pride
Instead (A major) of seeing a reflection
of failure or (D major) crime
Don't want to turn away,
make (G major) sure I cannot see
I (A major) don't want to hold my ears
when I (G major) think about me.
Why (D major) can't it be good?
(G major) Why can't it be (D major) good? (A major)
(D major) Why can't it be good?
(G major) Why can't it be (D major) good? (A major)
(D major) I want to be like the wind
when it uproots (A major) a tree
(G major) Car (A major) ries it across an ocean
to plant in a valley.
(D major) I want to be like the sun
that makes it (G major) flourish and grow
(A major) I don't want to be what I am anymore,
why can't it be (D major) good?
(G major) Can't it be (D major) good? (A major)
(D major) Can't it be good? (G major) (D major) (A major)
(D major) I was thinking of some
kind of whacked -out syncopation
to (G major) help improve this song
Some (A major) knock -em -down rhythm
that would help move it along
(D major) some rhyme of pure perfection
a (G major) beat so hard and strong
(A major) if i can't get it right this time
will the next time come along
why can't it be (D major) good
(G major) why (D major) can't it be good (A major)
(D major) can it be good (G major) (D major) (A major)
(D major)
