That is Why

Jellyfish
Tab
4.5(7)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse 1

Bm F#7

Though it's hard to admit it's true

E7 E high

I've come to depend on you

Bm F#7

you and your angelic shout

E7 E7 high

Loud enough for two

Chorus

Em7 G6 A (Fill 1)

And that is why

Em7 G6 A

I'll confide in you the truth this time

Em7 G6 A (Fill 1)

That is why

Em7 G6 A (Fill 2)

I just can't go on and live this lie

Verse 2

Bm F#7

Yesterday all was right as rain

E7

But now the forecast not (Fill 3)

Bm F#7

It's partly cloudy with trouser stains

E7

And his copy of enquiring minds (Fill 4)

Verse 3

Bm F#7

But that never meant that much to her

E7

She chose to keep her nose too clean

Bm F#

She'd rather keep it pointed anyway

E7

In spite of a magazine (Fill 5)

Chorus

Em7 G6 A (Fill 1)

And that is why

Em7 G6 A

I'll confide in you the truth this time

Em7 G6 A (Fill 1)

that is why

Em7 G6 A (Fill 2)

I just can't go on and live this lie

Bridge

B F#

And when you say I trust in you

E Bsus

I promise you the truth

B F#

And when you say I bet you won't

E

You know I will

A Asus

And it'll be better in the end

SOLO

Em7 G6 A Em7 G6 A Em7 G6 A Em7 G6 A

Verse 4

Bm F#

So when you think you've got it figured out

E7

Then you know you don't

Bm F#

Like all the rest you'd like to sit and pout

E7

But of course you won't

Chorus

Em7 G6 A (Fill 1)

And that is why

Em7 G6 A

I'll confide in you the truth this time

Em7 G6 A (Fill 1)

that is why

Em7 G6 A (Fill 2)

I just can't go on and live this lie

Em7 G6 A (Fill 1)

And that is why (That is why)

Em7 G6 A (Fill 1)

And that is why (That is why)

Em7 G6 A (Fill 1)

And that is why (That is why)

Em7 G6 A (Fill 1)

And that is why (That is why)
