Karine Polwart - Don't Know Why
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
All of these moments cling to each other
Just like a small boy clutches his motherF  
Maybe one day Gthey'll go their own Cway
[Verse 2]
I keep linking the daisies into chains
I keep blinking to see if it all looks the sameF  
Maybe one day Gthey'll go their own CwayAm  
[Chorus]
Clouds form and disGperse in the summer skyC  Am  
Clouds form and disGperse, and I don't know Cwhy
[Verse 3]
And nothing moves in a straight line, all these roads are not Roman
And the ruler rods of time are not fixed or frozFen
Maybe one day Gthey'll go their own Cway
[Verse 4]
I keep linking the daisies into chains
I keep blinking to see if it all looks the sameF  
Maybe one day Gthey'll go their own CwayAm  
[Chorus]
Clouds form and disGperse in the summer skyC  Am  
Clouds form and disGperse, and I don't know Cwhy
[Instrumental]
C  F  G  Am  F  Dm7  G  C
[Verse 5]
All of these moments cling to each other
Just like a small boy clutches his motherF  
Maybe one day Gthey'll go their own CwayAm  
[Chorus]
Clouds form and disGperse in the summer skyC  Am  
Clouds form and disGperse, and I don't know Dm7whyG  
I don't know Cwhy
CI don't know why
CI don't know why
