Laura Marling - Don’t Ask Me Why

Capo 3rd fret

[Intro]
G C G C G

[Intro]
G
I choose to stay far away
G
From the ones that think
G
Money is money to share
G
Don’t ask me why
G
And I’ll tell you no lies

[Verse 2]
G
Sonny don’t come here no more
G
He don’t drink from this well
G
O he’s done with the world
G
And done with the girl
G
And I don’t ask him why
G
And he tells me no lies

[Chorus]
G E
Those of us who are lost and low
Dm
I know how you feel
G C G C G
I know it’s not right but it’s real

[Bridge]
Dm
I don’t ask for love
G
And I don’t beg for money
Dm7 G
I’m just asking for grace and forgiveness
G
Now honey don’t ask me why
C G C G
And I’ll tell you no lies
Dm
Been looking for answers
G
In unsavoury places
Dm7
On the highest of mountains
G
And on the lowest of bases
C
And I still don’t know why
G C G
I still don’t know why

[Chorus]
G7 E7
Those of us who are lost and low
Dm7
We know how you feel
G C G
We know it’s not right but it’s real
C G
But it’s real

[Verse 3]
G
I took the wind from the sea
G
I took the blood from an arrow
C G
I took the wisdom of spring
G7 G
And I was thrown and blown and tossed and turned until
G7 G G7
Time found its hand and called an end
G
Me and time we go way back when
G
I was a child
G
And I always knew why
G
I knew my name
G
I knew my road
G7 C
And I stayed away from heavy loads
G C G C
I’m still, I’m low
G C G C G
O lord am I low

[Chorus]
G E7
Those of us who are lost and low
Dm7
I know how you feel
G C G
I know it’s not right but it’s real
C G C G
But it’s real

[Outro]
