note: Cm6 is interchangable with Cm in this song use at your discretion for a more jazzy feel 

Intro:      

Why? Why'd you do that?

You shouldn't have done that
         
If I told you once, I told you three times
            
You'll get your punishment when you
Show me your crimes
 
It's not a spell or a curse you put on me
                                       
Or the way you smile so tenderly
But how I wish it was your temper you were throwing

Damn you for being so easygoing

Chorus
                                         
I thought that time would tell
                                                                
My sins would provoke you to raise some hell


Not a chance

Whatever happened to fiery romance
     
Oh how I wish it was those dishes you were throwing
 
Damn you for being so easygoing
               x2

Why, why’d you do that 

Why’d I do what?
                                                
Nothing, forget it…why’d you do nothing………..

Repeat Chorus

                                 
No, don't give me that line
                                                            
Don't try to tell me inaction is not a crime
Can't you see what kind of seeds you're sowing?
                                                
Damn you for being so easygoing
