Why Not Me Guitar Chords

The song is a ballad about a man who is in love with a woman who is with someone else. He asks her why she is not with him, and he believes that he could be everything she needs. The song was inspired by the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Iglesias said that he was watching the news coverage of the earthquake and was so moved by the suffering of the people that he felt compelled to write a song about it.

Why Not Me Chords

[G] Escaping nights without
[D] you with shadows on the [Em] wall
My mind is running [C] wild
trying hard not to [G] fall
You told me that you [D] love me
but say I’m just a [Em] friend
my heart is broken up [C] into pieces
Cos i [G] know I’ll never free my [D] soul
it’s trapped [Em] between
true love and being [C] alone
When my eyes are [G] closed
the greatest story [D] told
I woke and my [Em] dreams are
shattered here on the [C] floor

[G] Why oh why tell me [D] why not me
[Em] Why oh why we were [C] meant to be
Baby I [G] know I could be [D] all you need
[Em] Why oh why oh [C] why

I wanna [G] love you
if [D] you only knew how much I [Em] love you
So [C] why not me

[G] The day after [D] tomorrow
I’ll still be [Em] around
To catch you when you [C] fall
and ever let you [G] down
you say that we’re [D] forever
our love will never [Em] end
I’ve tried to come up [C] but
it’s drowning me to [G] know
you’ll never feel my [D] soul
It’s trapped [Em] between
true love and being [C] alone

when my eyes are [G] closed
the greatest story [D] told
i woke and my [Em] dreams are
shattered here on the [C] floor
Tell me baby…

[G] Why oh why tell me why not [D] me
[Em] Why oh why we were meant to [C] be
Baby I [G] know I could be [D] all you need
[Em] Why oh why oh [C] why

I wanna love [G] you
[D] if you only knew how much I love [Em] you
So [C] why not me

[G] You won’t ever [D] know
[Em] How far we can [C] go
[G] You won’t ever [D] know
[Em] How far we can [C] go (go)

[G] Why oh why tell me why not [D] me
[Em] Why oh why we were meant to [C] be
Baby I [G] know I could be all you [D] need
[Em] Why oh why oh [C] why

I wanna love [G] you
[D] if you only knew how much I love [Em] you
So [C] why not me
