I Don't Know Why
by Shawn Colvin
as transcribed by R.Kilby ([email protected])
Capo 2nd Fret (key of E)
D G A D D/F# G D
I don't know why the sky is so blue.
A7 C+9 G Em A7 G
And I don't know why I'm so in love with you.
D/F# Bm7 A Em7 A7
But if there were no music, then I would not get through.
D G A G D
And I don't know why I know these things, but I do.
I don't know why, but somewhere dreams come true.
And I don't know where, but there'll be a place for you.
And every time you look that way, I would lay down my life for you.
I don't know why, I know these things, but I do.
I don't know why, but some will make you cry.
And I don't know how, but I will get you by, I will try.
They're not trying to cause you pain, they're just afraid of loving you.
I don't know why, I know these things, but I do.
I don't know why, the trees grow so tall.
And I don't know why I don't know anything at all.
But of there were no music, then I would not get through.
I don't know why I know these things, but I do.
I don't know why I know these things, but I do.
