Chords for Rosanne Cash with Rodney Crowell "I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me" at the First & Worst City Win

[C#] Mystery in songwriting, if we knew what it [G] was, we'd factory make them all day long, but
the [N] mystery is therein is the beauty, right?
_ Um, that I do, yeah, _ I do, um, have the advantage of
writing with, [G] co-writing with some great [N] writers sometimes, and I learn a lot too.
_ Um, and I want
to ask a friend out to, uh, play with me a song that we wrote together. _
Please welcome Rodney
Crowell.
_ _ So _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Rodney and I, um, wrote [G] this song together, well, let me go back.
In 1984, [N] we were
nominated for a Grammy for a song we'd, we'd done together, and I bought a really expensive dress,
and new shoes, and got all made up, and went out there and [G] lost, and I [C#] was really annoyed,
[B] _ _
and so [N] the next day I was driving around, and I was going, I got my new dress, I don't know
why you don't want me, _ [G#m] and I told this [N] to Rodney, and he goes, well, come on, let's make that into
a real song.
So we wrote the song, and the next year it won a Grammy. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ [N] You see the circle of that,
the irony, those are the things you live for.
_ [C#] All right, we'll try it.
_ Actually,
[N] I don't know if we've ever done this together.
We have not. _ _ _ _
That's what's going to make this really good.
_ [C#] _ We'll see.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D#m] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D#m] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ Well, it's the right _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ time,
you [C#] don't want me.
_ I _ _ [D#m] _ _ _
_ [F#] don't know why you don't [C#] want me.
_ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _ _
[F#] I don't know why [G#] you don't want me.
[F#] Well, somebody told you I was so cold [C#] to me.
_ _ Who was that [F#] talking?
Somebody wants you, don't want me in [C#] between.
_ _ Should better start walking.
[F#] Somebody hurt you, but maybe she [G#] wasn't me.
_ [C#] _ _ [D#m] _ [G#] _
We'll find [C#] a new name for such a bold game [D#m] tonight.
_ _ [F#] I don't know why [C#] you don't want me. _ _ _ _ _
[D#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] I don't know why [G#] you don't want me.
_ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [G#] _ _ _ [A#] Just when I [A#m] think I could make it without you,
[G#] you come around and say you want me now.
[D#m] Tell me don't leave, I want to believe [F#] you.
Why can't you see [G#] just how much I [C#] need you? _
_ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ I [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _
don't [F#] _ _ know [G#] why you don't want me.
[C#] It's the last chance for _ [D#m] romance.
_ _ [F#] I don't know why you [C#] don't want me. _ _ _ _
_ [D#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] I don't know _ [G#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
[D#m] why [G#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [G#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [D#] you don't want me. _
