THIS IS WHY
Transcribed by Stephen Jones
{NOTE: Both Tom and Will's guitars are almost always tuned to DADGBE ('drop D' tuning)!}

  (all of these chords are played muted)
                                                        (stop muting...)

Will - Tom continues playing intro riff

{played four times}

Will - Tom continues playing intro riff

1)God knows lead is  heavier   than    Gold,   a  rubber  doll  can still
2)breathe, it's not immune to growing  old,   it   isn't   hard   to   get
3)real,  when   you  know  it's just a dream,  we're  gonna  wipe  it  all
4)clean,   and let  the  parasities   roam...

2) steel,  can  you  hear   yourself   think  of  everything that  you've
3) killed, there's a future    in      mould,     like  a  fungus, love
4) grows,   it  suffocates     and     chokes...
