Don't Tell Me (PETER HAMMILL: Enter K)
[Instrumental intro:] F#m E F#m
E
You don't have to say a thing,
F#m
the silence is sweet;
A?
we've been together today
D#m D
in a way we might never repeat.
F#m E
Oh, your head on the pillow,
F#m
the distance in your eyes -
A
already you might be
D#m D
rehearsing the word "Goodbye".
[Arpegios]
F#m D F#m
When the evening comes of this perfect day,
D B
when the shadows run will you look away,
C#
will you slip away?
D#m C# A#m G#m C# A#m B
Don't tell me a___nything.
[same]
You don't have to say a word,
all too well I understand:
there's a nervous tension
in the touch of your gentle hand.
That makes me afraid -
I've seen you like this before...
the moment you find somebody new
D
you find yourself bored.
F#m
Oh, I don't want to lose you.
[same as before]
When the evening comes of this perfect day,
when the shadows run will you look away,
will you slip away?
A#m D#m C# A#m F#m
Don't tell me anything.
[instrumental] F#m E F#m E F#m
D
Now the evening's come,
F#m
now I'm left alone;
D
now the passion's done
B
and you're going home...
C#
oh, when will you telephone?
D#m C# A#m G#m C# A#m
You don't tell me a__nything.
G#m D#m C# A#m
No, you don't even tell me
A#
the bell won't ring.
