Version 1 Version 2 Version 3

            [Intro]

G G7 (x4)


[Verse 1]

G                         A7
all your waiters in your grand cafe
D7                            G      C
leave their tables when you blink, oooh
G                         A7
every dog must have his every day
D7                          G
every drunk must have his drink


[Chorus]

        B7        Em           G7         A7
don't wait for answers, just take your chances,
       C      G   G7 G
don't ask me why


[Bridge]

D                               C
you can say the human heart is only make believe
D                             G
i am only fighting fire with fire
E                   A
you are still the victim of the accidents you leave
E                         A7
sure as i'm a victim of desire
that's basically it, the next three verses follow the same pattern:


[Verse 2]

G                         A7
all your life you had to stand in line,
D7                              G   C
still you're standing on your feet,ooh
G                           A7
all your choices made you change your mind,
D7                       G
now your calender's complete,


[Chorus]

        B7        Em            G7        A7
don't wait for answers, just take your chances, 
       C      G   G7 G
don't ask me why


[Verse 3]

G                         A7
all your servants in your new hotel, 
D7                          G   C
throw their roses at your feet,ooh
G                      A7
fool them all but baby i can tell,
D7                          G
you're no stranger to the street,


[Chorus]

        B7     Em            G7       A7
don't ask for favors, don't talk to strangers,
       C      G   G7 G
don't ask me why


[Verse 4]

G                     A7
yesterday you were an only child,
D7                          G    C
now your ghosts have gone away, ooh,
G                          A7
you can kill them in the classic style,
D7                      G
now you parlez-vous français,


[Chorus]

       B7        Em          G7         A7
don't look for answers, you took your chances,
       C      G   G7 G
don't ask me why
