Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

There's a reason for a snowfall,

A reason why a tree's tall,

A reason why a star is bright.

A reason why the moon glows,

A reason why the wind blows,

A reason why it's dark at night.

Chorus

But I don't know why I should cry

Just because you said goodbye

There must be a reason,

I’d like to know why.

Oh why, oh I’d like to know

There's a reason for a sunbeam,

A reason for a daydream,

A reason why the desert's dry.

A reason why a stream falls,

A reason why there's rainbows,

A reason for a cloudy sky.

(Repeat Chorus Except Last 2 Lines)

I'd like to know why.

Bridge

There was a time when I could smile,

We'd sit and talk of us awhile,

Times I never got your love

And thanked my lucky stars above

(Repeat 1st Stanza & Chorus)

Coda

(FADE)

There must be a reason,

I'd like to know why (why, oh,

why, why I'd like to know).

Please tell me why,

I wanna know why
