A              F#m        F#m7  Dm     Bm5-/7     E7 
I know I should pity me, but I don't because, you see 
F#m     F#m7      Fdim        A            
I have loved and   I  have learned  
Bm5-/7   E7     Fdim    E7     
And as far as I'm concerned 
Bm7       E7  F#M7        Bm7   E7   A7M  
I should care  I should go around weeping 
Em       F#7 Bm7                          Bm  
I should care   I should go without sleeping 
   F#m     Bm5-/7           E7       F7M         Em7      A7M  F#m7 
Strangely enough I sleep well,  except for a dream or two 
   D#m5-/7   C#7       F#m       Am7+      
But then, I count my sheep well 
   B7        Bm7      E7            E7/13-      
Funny how sheep can lull you to sleep  
Bm5-/7 E7   A7M  Bm7           E7      A7M  
So,  I should care    I should let it upset me 
Em       F#7  Bm7                    Dm   
I should care     but it just doesn't get me 
  F#m               Bm     Fdim       F#m  F#m7  B7  Cdim  
Maybe I won't find someone    as    lovely  as  you 
    Bm7       E7         A   Bm7 E7 
But I should care, and I do 
Interlude: A F#m F#m7 Dm Bm5-/7 E7 F#m F#m7 Fdim A            
  F#m              Bm      Fdim      F#m  F#m7 B7  Cdim  
Maybe I won't find someone     as   lovely as  you 
Bm5-/7       E7  C#m5-/7      F#7  
  I should care,  I  should care 
Bm5-/7    E7          A   Gm A7M 
I should care, and I do
