Melanie Safka - You Don't Know Me
## From the album Crazy Love ##
CAPO: 2nd Fret
G Am Em
You have seen me through my windows
G D
In the heat of different lights
Em G Am
You have held me 'til I trembled
Em
Loved me 'til I cried
G Am Em
Now you're off to far horizons
G D
I can see your other side
Em G
There’ll be news of this tomorrow
Am Em
So tonight let's sit here quiet
CHORUS:
G Em Am Em
'Cause you don't know me
C Em C D
You baby, you don't know me
G Am Em C
You don't know me
Em C D
You don't, you don't know me
G Am Em
When I dream, I take you with me
G D
Though you never really go
Em G
To the places where I travel
Am Em
To the secrets left untold
G Am Em
Now you held me deep inside you
G D
In a place that felt like home
Em G
Ah, the face it's so familiar
Am Em
But this heart you'll never know
CHORUS:
G Am Em C
You don't know me, oh no
Em C D
You don't, you don't know
G Am Em C
Oh, you don't know me, oh no
Em C D
You don't know me
G Am Em
Round the colours of deception
G D
At the risk of telling lies
Em G
In the opposite direction
Am Em
There's a temporary high
G Am Em
But it's only one more dead end
G D
On a street that's paved with gold
Em G
When you can't create a reason
Am Em
For the mystery to unfold
CHORUS: (## repeat and fade to end ##)
G Am Em C
You don't know me
Em C D
You don't, you don't, you don't know me
G Am Em C
You don't know me
Em C D
You don't, you don't know me
G Am Em C
You don't know me
Em C D
You baby, you don't know me
G Am Em C
You don't know me
Em C D
You don't, you don't know me
