Eric Clapton

“Don’t Know Why”

Eric Clapton ‘1970’

Originally performed by: Eric Clapton and his Band

Intro: C Bb F

You say you want everything good for me

But I know you so well, I can tell when you’re lying

Making believe you’re looking up to me

And I’m just sitting here, crying

And I don’t know why

I don’t know why

I don’t know why I don’t care.

Pre-Verse: C Bb F

You’ll go on back to him, he’ll take you in

I know he’s gonna love you, but I still want you back again

‘Cause baby you’re part of me, it’s deep inside of you

When he’s done all he can, you’ll come running to your other man, oh yeah

And I don’t know why

I don’t know why

I don’t know why I don’t care.

Pre-Verse: C Bb F

I know you won’t soon forget last night

Your precious love was all over me, but it’s all right

Go on and try again but you know nothing’s gonna change

That’s the way it’s gonna be, oh yeah

And I don’t know why

I don’t know why

I don’t know why I don’t care.

I don’t know why I don’t care.
