Ask Me Why

This Little Lick Also Used Over Some E Chords During Verses

Verse

I love you 'cos you tell me things I want to know

And it's true that it really only goes to show that I know

That I I I I would never ever ever be blue

Now you're mine my happiness near makes me cry

And in time you'll understand the reason why that I cry

It's not because I'm sad

A E E+ (e.g., 076550) But you're the only love that I've ever had

Middle: A B7 E E+ I can't believe it's happened to me

I can't conceive of any more misery

Verse

Ask me why I'll say I love you [second time jump to ending]

G#m A E E+ And I'm always thinking of you

Now Repeat From The Middle

Ending:

And I'm always thinking of you you

you
