Key: Bb Tempo: 93 bpm
Intro:
| Bb/F | Cm7/F – F7b9 - | Bb | Ebm/F – F7 -
Verse 1:
| Bb | Gm7add9
Please don't ask me what I am thinkin',
| Cm7 | Cm7/F – F7b9 -
It’s about you,
| Bb | Gm7
Please don't ask me, I never can see you,
| Cm7 | Cm7/F – F7b9 -
What can I do?
| Bb | Bb7/Ab
My first impulse is to run to your side,
| Ebmaj7/G | Ebm6/Ab
My heart's not free, and so I must hide,
| Bb/F | Cm7/F – F7b9 - Please don't ask me what I'm gonna say to you.
| Bb | Ebm/F – F7 -
Verse 2:
| Bb | Gm7add9
I toss and turn, can't sleep at night,
| Cm7 | Cm7/F – F7b9 -
It’s worrying me,
| Bb | Gm7add9
I go to bed, turn out the lights,
| Cm7 | Cm7/F – F7b9 -
But your face I see.
| Bb | Bb7/Ab
It only hurts the more I pretend,
| Ebmaj7/G | Ebm6/Ab
That we could ever be more than friends,
| Bb/F | Cm7/F – F7b9 -
Please don't ask me why I'm so in love with you.
| Bb | Bb
Bridge:
| Ab6 | G7+ | Cm7 | Ebm
You could easily make me happy, that I know,
| Bb | G7/B | Cm7add9 | F7
But I'll try my best to never tell you so,
| Ab6 | G7+ | Cm7 | Ebm6
I will sing to you my love songs, and pretend,
| Bb | G7/B | Cm7 | F7
And I'll keep the secret right down to the end.
Verse 3:
| Bb | Gm7add9
Please don't ask me why I'm not talkin',
| Cm7 | Cm7/F – F7b9 -
I just can't explain,
| Bb | Gm7add9
And please don't ask me why I go walkin',
| Cm7 | Cm7/F – F7b9 -
Out in the rain.
| Bb | Bb7/Ab
I could not live the lie it would take,
| Ebmaj7/G | Ebm6/Ab
To have you near would be a mistake,
| Bb/F | Cm7/F – F7b9 -
Please don't ask me why I'm still in love with you. | Gm7 – Gm7/F - | C7/E xxx
| Bb/F | Cm7/F – F7b9 -
No please don't ask me.
