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
