Hello there,
I really wanted to find chords for this song, but most Ron Sexsmith songs have the decency
of being easy to play, so I thought I'd do it myself. This one is particularly charming,
off the Blue Boy record, which is a favourite from this Canadian artist.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Intro: C F C F
G F
Don't feel the need to get to the bottom of
G F
The love light in your eyes
G F
As the leaves fall prey to autumn
C
I don't ask why
G F
Don't give my feelings the third degree
G F
No need to think twice
G F
As long as I've got you for me
C F
I don't ask why
C F
I don't ask why
Am
What good would it do me knowing
F G
How it all works anyway?
Am
My hearts got it's own game going
F G
I'm just happy to play
Em Dm
It's said in wisdom there's so much grief
C
Why try?
Em Dm F
If the answer brings no relief
G
It's better to laugh or cry
F G F
G F
Since worrying don't change a thing
C F
I don't ask why
Am
What good would it do me knowing
F G
How it all works from behind?
Am
My souls got it's own dream going
F G
I'm just following blind
Em Dm
It's said in wisdom there's so much grief
C
Like a child
Em Dm F
If the answer brings no relief
G
It's better to laugh or cry
F G F
G F
So if we chased the stars and caught 'em
G F
Now would they still shine?
G F
Don't feel the need to get to the bottom of
C F
C F
The love light in your eyes
C F
No, I don't ask why
G F G F G <- End on a G Chord
