I don't know why I didn't come

I left you by the house of fun
Gm7C7F7susBb
I don't know why I didn't come
Gm7C7F7sus
I don't know why I didn't come
Bbmaj7Bb7Ebmaj7Daug
When I saw the break of day
Gm7C7F7susBb
I wished that I could fly away
Bbmaj7Bb7EbmajDaug
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Gm7C7F7susBb
Catching teardrops in my hand
[Chorus]

My heart is drenched in wine
Gm7C7F7
But you'll be on my mind

Out across the endless sea
Gm7C7F7susBb
I would die in ecstasy

But I'll be a bag of bones
Gm7C7F7susBb
Driving down the road alone

DON’T KNOW WHY – NORAH JONES
Iwaited 'til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
When Isaw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand
My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever
Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road alone
Myheart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever
Something has to make you run
I don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
lyrics by DuBose Heyward.
From the 1935 opera, "Porgy and Bess."
Bm
Summertime,
F#7Bm
And the livin' is easy
Em
Fish are jumpin'
GF#7
And the cotton is high
Bm
Oh, Your daddy's rich
F#7Bm
And your mamma's good lookin'
G
So hush little baby
F#7Bm
Don't you cry
Bm
One of these mornings
F#7Bm
You're going to rise up singing
Em
Then you'll spread your wings
GF#7
And you'll take to the sky
Bm
But until that morning
F#7Bm
There's a'nothing can harm you
GF#7Bm
With your daddy and mammy standing by
Bm
Summertime,
F#7Bm
And the livin' is easy
Em
Fish are jumpin'
GF#7
And the cotton is high
Bm
Oh, Your daddy's rich
F#7Bm
And your mamma's good lookin'
G
So hush little baby
F#7Bm
Don't you cry
