Am D Am D

[Verse 1]
Am               D
Why do you talk, why do you waste time?
Am                          D
Saying the same old thing, it should be a crime
G                 C
You never listen, instead you stammer
Am
As though you're interesting, and full of glamour
Am
As though you're interesting, and full of glamour

[Bridge 1]
Am D Am D

[Verse 2]
Am                       D
Why do you talk so much, why don't you shut up?
Am                       D
You have nothing to say, you lack drama
G                        C
It's the same old thing, you'd like to know why
Am
Who made the earth move, who made the sky high?
Am
Who made the earth move, who made the sky high?

[Bridge 2]
Am D Am D

[Verse 3]
Am                       D
Who made your blood red, who made you think thoughts?
Am                             D
Who made you breathe a breath, tell me why do you talk?
Am                           D
Oh, tell me why do you talk, tell me why do you talk?
Am
Tell me why do you talk?

[Verse 4]
G                       C
Why do you always talk, why do you make sound?
Am
Why don't you listen? Why do you talk so much?
Am
Why don't you listen? Why do you talk so much?

[Outro]
Am
(whispers) Why don't you shut up? Why don't you shut up?
Am
(whispers) Why don't you shut up? Why do you talk so much?
