[Verse 1]
Why can't [D]I be good?
Why can't I [A]act like a man?
[G]Why can[A]'t I be good
and do what other men can[D]?
Why can't I be good
and make something [G]of this life?
If I [A]can't be a god,
let me be more than a wife
Why can't I be [D]good?
[G]Why can't I be [A]good?
[D]Why can't I be good?
[G]Why can't I be [D]good?[A]
[D]Don't wanna be weak,
I [G]wanna be strong
Not a [A]fat, happy weakling
with two useless arm[D]s
A mouth that keeps moving
with [G]nothing to say
An [A]eternal baby
who never moved away
Why can't it [D]be good?
[G]Why can't [D]it be good?[A]
[D]Why can't it be good?
[G]Why can't it [D]be good?[A][D]
I look in a mirror with [G]a feeling of pride
Instead [A]of seeing a reflection
of failure or [D]crime
Don't want to turn away,
make [G]sure I cannot see
I [A]don't want to hold my ears
when I [G]think about me.
Why [D]can't it be good?
[G]Why can't it be [D]good?[A]
[D]Why can't it be good?
[G]Why can't it be [D]good?[A]
[D]I want to be like the wind
when it uproots [A]a tree
[G]Carrie[A]s it across an ocean
to plant in a valley.
[D]I want to be like the sun
that makes it [G]flourish and grow
[A]I don't want to be what I am anymore,
why can't it be [D]good?
[G]Can't it be [D]good?[A]
[D]Can't it [G]be good?[D][A]
[D]I was thinking of some
kind of whacked -out syncopation
to [G]help improve this song
Some [A]knock -em -down rhythm
that would help move it along
[D]some rhyme of pure perfection
a [G]beat so hard and strong
[A]if i can't get it right this time
will the next time come along
why can't it be [D]good
[G]why [D]can't it [A]be good
[D]can it be [G]good[D][A]
[D]

[Outro 1]
