"I never wanted to have someone that I'd fear losing one day...
and that's one thing that scares me more than anything...
my love for you is stronger than I've ever known...
and if I were to ever lose you, that is my biggest fear of all..."

August 16, 1999

 

 

DON'T KNOW WHY
Norah Jones
Words & Music by Jesse Harris

 


 

 

 BbM7           Bb7            EbM7  D
I       waited 'til    I saw the    sun
Gm7                    C7       F7sus      Bb
   I don't know why   I didn't come
BbM7           Bb7       EbM7       D
   I left you by   the house of fun
Gm7                    C7       F7sus      Bb
   I don't know why   I didn't come
  Gm7                   C7                F7sus  Bb  F7sus
I    don't know why    I didn't come

BbM7          Bb7            EbM7       D
   When I saw    the break   of day
Gm7                  C7            F7sus     Bb 
   I wished that I    could fly   away
BbM7             Bb7         EbM7     D
   Instead of kneeling in the sand
Gm7              C7     F7sus    Bb                  
Catching teardrops in my hand

        Gm7          C7           F7
My heart is drenched in wine
        Gm7       C7       F7
But you'll be on my mind
F7/Eb   Bb/D      F/C
For-------ev-------er

BbM7      Bb7         EbM7      D
   Out across the endless   sea
Gm7           C7       F7sus   Bb
   I would die in ecstasy
BbM7      Bb7    EbM7      D
   But I'll be a bag of bones
Gm7        C7              F7sus   Bb
Driving down the road alone

Gm7                     C7           F7
   My heart is drenched in wine
       Gm7          C7          F7
But you'll be on   my mind
Forever

Instrumental:
BbM7   Bb7   EbM7   D7#5
Gm7   C7   F7sus
BbM7   Bb7   EbM7   D
Gm7   C7   F7sus

BbM7                   Bb7   EbM7          D
   Something has to   make    you run
Gm7                   C7      F7sus      Bb       
   I don't know why I didn't come
  BbM7           Bb7   EbM7     D
I      feel as empty as   a drum

Gm7                  C7        F7
   I don't know why I didn't come
Bb  Gm7                C7              F7   
   I     don't know why I didn't come
Bb   Gm7               C7      F7sus      Bb
   I     don't know why I didn't come
