Elton John - Not Me

intro : D# A#m G# D#

radames ( mereb )
A#m7
i once knew all the answers
C# G#
i stood on certain ground
A#m7 G#
a picture of true happiness
C# G#
a confidence so effortless

no brighter could be found ( oh no . . . )

i never asked the questions
that trouble me today
i knew all there was to know
love worn lightly , put on show
my conquests on display ( i can’t believe he’s changing )

and who’d have thought that confidence could die? ( oh no )
not me , not me ( not me , not me )
that all i took for granted was a lie ( oh no )
not me , not me ( not me , not me )
and who’d have guessed i’d throw my world away
to be with someone i’m afraid will say
not me , not me? ( this can never be )

mereb
he’s in love
but he’s not the only one
who’ll be changed

amneris
why hasn’t radames come to see me again? we’re to be married in three days , and
yet . . . aida , i must make things right with him .

aida
i shall not envy lovers
but long for what they share

amneris
an empty room is merciless
don’t be surprised if i confess
i need some comfort there

aida & amneris
and who’d have thought a love could be so good?
not me , not me
and show me things i never understood
not me , not me
and who’d have guessed he’d throw his world away
to be with someone ’til his dying day?
not me , not me

radames / amneris & aida ( mereb )
and who’d have thought a love could be so good? ( no good )
not me , not me ( not me , not me )
my/his secrets & my/his passions understood ( no good )
not me , not me ( not me , not me )
and who’d have guessed i’d/he’d throw my/his world away
to be with someone ’til my/his dying day?
not me , not me ( this can never be )

radames
not me
oh , not me
