Intro:
A E7sus A D6/E C#/E
Verse I:
 A                  F#m               Bm7           D6/E  C#/E
Please don’t ask me what am I thinkin’, it’s about you
 A                     F#m               Bm7          D6/E  C#/E
Please don’t ask me, I never can see you, what can I do?
    A                  A7/C#
My first impulse is to run to your side
      D                    G7add13   G7
   My heart’s not free and so I must hide
A/E                  D6/E           C#/E    A Dm E7
Please don’t ask me, what I’m gonna say to you
Verse II:
  A                    F#m                  Bm7      D6/E  C#/E
I toss and turn, can’t sleep at night, it’s worrying me
  A              F#m                Bm7           D6/E  C#/E
I go to bed turn out the light, but your face I see
   A              A7/C#
It only hurts the more I pretend
        D              G7add13       G7
   that we could never be more than friends
A/E                 D6/E          C#/E      A
Please don’t ask me why I’m so in love with you
Chorus:
           G6            F#7           Bm   Dm
You could easily make me happy, that I know
         A/E            F#             D E
But I’ll try my best to never tell you so
       G6              F#7              Bm   Dm
I will sing to you my love songs and pretend
         A/E             F#                D   E
And I’ll keep the secret right down to the end
Verse III:
  A                 F#m                   Bm7            D6/E  C#/E
Please don’t ask me why I’m not talkin’, I just can’t explain
     A                  F#m              Bm7          D6/E  C#/E
And please don’t ask me why I go walkin’ out in the rain
  A                  A7/C#
I could not live the lie it would take
      D                   G7add13  G7
   to have you near would be a mistake
A/E                 D6/E             C#/E      F#m  F#mmaj7  F#m7  B7
Please don’t ask me why I’m still in love with you
    A                   D6/E  C#/E  A
No, please don’t ask me...
