[Verse 1]
E                           D       A
 Why can’t you have a little common sense?
E                           D           A
 Why does the chicken water float up to your head?
E                               D           A
 Why don’t you listen when they tell you to do right?
E                        D             A
 Why do you wake up in a cold sweat every night?
E                         D            A
 Why is it your apartment always looks like shit?
E                              D                   A
 With broken glass and lots of trash but you don’t take care of none of it

E                          D        A
 Why do you think it always ends up like this?
E                              D       A
 Like life's a joke you’re just taking a piss
E                                      D        A
 Or you think there’s someone else that you can blame?
E                          D              A
 And every time it ends up playing out the same

[Chorus]
E                           D        A
 Why don’t you have a little common sense?

 Why don’t you have a little common sense?
E                           D        A
 Why don’t you have a little common sense?

[Verse 3]
E                           D           A
 Why do the drugs always go right up to my head?
E                         D                A
 Why can’t I remember the fucked up things I did?
E                       D          A
 Why do I always end up pissing in my bed?
E                         D                 A
 Why don’t I remember the smart things that I read?
E                              D              A
 When I was young they told me to stay out of my head
E                                    D             A
 'Make the wrong choices', yeah, and you’ll end up dead

[Chorus]
E                          D      A
 Why can’t I have a little common sense?
E                           D            A
 Why don’t I realize that I might end up dead?
E                          D      A
 Why can’t I have a little common sense?
E                          D      A
 Why can’t I have a little common sense?
