Why why why why 
A 
Why why why why 
 F#m      E 
Why why why
[Estrofe]
A 
I was off 
                       F#m 
Keying cars parked on radium lawns 
     E 
By suburbian moms 
A 
I called a friend 
A 
Let's meet at ten 
       F#m 
Go wherever we want 
                E 
'Cause no one cares that we're gone
[Pre-Refrão]
A 
This town don't got much to do 
A 
You and I haven't got much to lose 
F#m                                            E 
Do you wanna rock in your room like we always do? 
A 
Talk about how fast we grew 
A 
And all the big dreams that we won't pursue 
      F#m                                         E 
Then get in your car and laugh 'til we both turn blue
[Refrão]
                   A 
'Cause we are the helpless, selfish, one of a kind 
     A 
Millennium kids, that all wanna die 
  F#m                                          E 
Walking in the street with no light inside our eyes 
             A 
We are the worthless, cursed with too much time 
    A 
We get into trouble and lose our minds 
     F#m                                         E 
Something that I've heard a million times in my life 
  
Generation Why
[Estrofe]
  A 
Parents think, we're fast asleep 
         F#m                              E 
But as soon as we're home, we're sneaking out the window 
A 
'Cause at this rate of earth decay 
              F#m 
Our world's ending at noon 
                  E 
Can we all just move to the moon?
[Pre-Refrão]
 A 
This town don't got much to do 
 A 
And you and I haven't got much to lose 
         F#m                                    E 
Do you wanna leave everyone in this place for good?
[Refrão]
                   A 
'Cause we are the helpless, selfish, one of a kind 
     A 
Millennium kids, that all wanna die 
  F#m                                          E 
Walking in the street with no light inside our eyes 
             A 
We are the worthless, cursed with too much time 
    A 
We get into trouble and lose our minds 
     F#m                                         E

A                            F#m 
Why why why why why why why why 
  
We're livin' night to night 
 C#m                          E 
Why why why why why why why why 
  
Since we're bound to die, oh 
 A                            F#m 
Why why why why why why why why 
  
Oh, what's the use in trying? 
 C#m                         E 
Why why why why why why why why 
  
And it's exactly why

     A 
Millennium kids, that all wanna die
