E                  A
Stepping along the hum of the sidewalk
  F#m           B
A marionette, a slave
     E                 A
Your legs are wood and tied to the city
F#m           B
Who has final say

[Verse 2]
     E               A
It's hard to hug the girders, my brother
     F#m               B
It's hard to swing and waltz
          E              A
With your tempo one beat less than the others
       F#m                 B
You're three times more at fault

[Chorus]
  E               A                 F#m                B
I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay
       E               A                 F#m                B
Yeah I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay

[Interlude]
E  A  F#m B
E  A  F#m B

[Verse 3]
        E              A
If your silver wing is stuck on horizons
F#m              B
Catch it when it goes
           E                A
Or they'll take a piece and pull back the curtains
            F#m                   B
And there's nothing left but your clothes

[Chorus]
  E               A                 F#m                B
I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay
       E               A                 F#m                B
Yeah I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay

[Interlude]
E  A  F#m B
E  A  F#m B

[Verse 4]
    E                   A
The strings are why you move to Geppeto
    F#m       B
The daily hourglass
     E              A
This match made was made in a moment
    F#m               B
But now that moment's past

[Chorus]
  E               A                 F#m                B
I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay
       E               A                 F#m                B
Yeah I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay
  E               A                 F#m                B
I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay
       E               A                 F#m                B
Yeah I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why you stay
