WHY SO SAD by THE MANIC STREET PREACHERS
Lyrics by Nicky Wire, Music by James Dean Bradfield and Sean Moore
From the album `Know Your Enemy` (2001).
This is just a brilliant, brilliant song, why it wasn`t number 1 is
beyond me. Best thing they`ve done for years.

A Bm
Things get clear when I feel free
Cm D
But what happens next comes easily
E Fm
What gentle hands you brought to me
A C A
When your eyes feel weak and tired it truly hits
A Bm
When I missed you you were my life
Cm
(When I missed you you were my life)

So at ease in the midnight sky
E
(So at ease in the midnight sky)

My insides will look like wire
(My insides will look...)

Paralysed as if to prove my thoughts

So why so sad

You live and you love

You`ve given all the love

Searching for the dead sea scrolls

So why, so why so sad

My smile as real as a hyena`s

Burns an express-way to my skull

Well I will stick myself together again

My spirit, soul and body know I can`t pretend

So why so sad

You live and you love

You`ve given all the love

Searching for the dead sea scrolls
