I DON'T KNOW WHY I BOTHER WITH MYSELF

Transcribed by Bundyboy

C             D          G


      C             D          G
I’m a fool--,  I’ve taken no advice
       C           D              G
I’m so cruel--, by talkin’ to you nice
         B7                        C
but then again you may not want me back,  oh!
G                               D
just to put my hat back on your rack
  
  C              D              G
I don’t know why I bother with myself
         C              D             G
you will find a part of me in someone else
        B7                               Em
I never argued with the fact that she is mine
       B7                                     Em
I only hurt and kissed her three times out of nine
    C                                D                 G
you have the head to talk to men and make them feel at home,  you
C                               F                             G
spend your time and heart,   on someone,    that’s not- your- own
  
C                   D              G
Could it be, there’s bound to be a chance
   C                   D              G
to her who you woo, at stopping our romance
     B7                               C
i’ve gained a heart and part of it is yours, oh
G                                      D
just to see my love walk through these doors
  
      C                   D               G
If my life’s planned out ahead I can not look,  and
C                   D           G
if you read me then I am just a book
          B7                           Em
you don’t care if rain falls,    in my room
          B7                              Em
you won’t be there,    if trouble fills my spoon
     C                                  D            G
i’m just a clown, who plays around with misery in my wake
C                                  F                        G
forgetting all the rules of love I learned--,       but too late—
  
  C                D             G
I don’t know why I bother with myself
         C              D             G
you will find a part of me in someone else
  C                D             G
I don’t know why I bother with myself
  C                D             G ( end cold)
I don’t know why I bother with myself
