^Em I was watching my T ^D V one night when they broke i ^C n with a special rep ^G ort

Em There were thirty thous ^D and crushed to death, even ^C more were buried al ^G ive
On the Ri ^Em chter scale it m ^D easured 8.2 ^{C G}
And I said, "G ^C od, please an ^D swer me one q ^G uestion?"
^C "Why'd they have to i ^Bb nterru ^C pt 'T ^G he Simpsons' just for this?"
^Bb What ^C a dr ^G ag, 'cause I was ta ^Bb ping ^C it and ^G everything
And now I'll h ^C ave to wait for the re ^G run to see the p ^D art of the show I missed
chorus:
^C Why does this a ^G lways happen?
^Bb Why does this al ^F ways happen to me?
^C Why does this al ^G ways happen?
^Bb (Why) Why does this alw ^F ays happen to me?
^C Ba ba ba ba, ^G ba ba ba ba ba

^Em I was driving down the h ^D ighway when all the t ^C raffic slowed to a c ^G rawl
There was a tw ^Em elve-car pile-up, ^D everybody dea ^C d ^G
And I saw b ^Em rains and guts and v ^D ital organs ^C splattered everyw ^G here
As well as m ^Em y friend Robert's di ^D sembodied hea ^C d ^G
And I thought - ^C Poor ^D Rob, I just had l ^G unch with him
Hey, w ^C ait a minute, ^Bb he still ^C owes me ^G money - what a jerk
Well, ther ^Bb e's f ^C ive ^G bucks that I'm ne ^Bb ver g ^C onna ^G see again
Plus now, on t ^C op of everything e ^G lse, it looks like I'm g ^D onna be late to work

^A Ba ba ba ba, ba ba
Oh, the ot ^Em her day, my b ^D oss said we were r ^C unning low on t ^G oner
^Em And he told me I should ^D buy another ca ^C se ^G
Well, I ^Em told him I was b ^D usy, but he s ^C till just kept on as ^G king
So, I t ^Em urned around and st ^D abbed him in the fa ^C ce (right in the fa ^G ce)
Oh, and ^C wouldn't you k ^D now it, my k ^G nife got stuck
^C I guess that's ^Bb probably ^C bound to ^G happen now and then
But ^Bb I'm ^C afra ^G id I may have ^Bb bent the t ^C ip a l ^G ittle
And I kn ^C ow that blade will ^G never ever be qui ^D te as sharp again (quite as sharp again)
