You Don't Know Me

Mel O'Joe

Song by Ray Charles

This one hits deep — it’s about loving someone from a distance, keeping it all inside because you’re too afraid to say how you feel. A lot of us have been there, quietly hoping they might somehow notice… but they never do. Here's Ray Charles: "You Don't Know Me".

Intro

Loop

	C#	C#+	F#	F#m7	F#6	F#m7
Y	ou g	ive your h	and to me,	and then you s	ay, "Hello,"

	B	Bm	Bdim(III)	Bdim
And I can ha	rdly speak,	my heart is	beating so;

	F#	D#7	G#m7	C#7
And anyo	ne can tell	you think you	know me well,

	A#7	D#7	G#m7	C#7
But you don't kn	ow me.

	C#	C#+	F#	F#m7	F#6	F#m7
N	o, y	ou don't k	now the one	who dreams of y	ou at night,

	B	Bm	Bdim(III)	Bdim
And longs to	kiss your lips,	and longs to	hold you tight-	-

	F#	D#7	G#m7	C#7
To you, I'm j	ust a friend	; that's all I've	ever been,

	F#	G#m7	Bdim	F#
But you don't k	now me.

Bridge:

	B	F#dim	A#m7	Fm7-5	D#7
For	I never k	new the a	rt of m	aking l	ove,

	B	C#	F#
Though my h	eart ached with	love for y	ou;

B	F#dim	A#m7	Fm7-5	D#7
Afraid and s	hy, I l	et my c	hance go b	y...

	G#	G#7	C#	C#+
The ch	ance you mi	ght have loved me,	too.

	C#	C#+	F#	F#m7	F#6	F#m7
Y	ou g	ive your h	and to me,	and then you s	ay, "Goodbye,"

	B	Bm	Bdim	Bdim
I watch you w	alk away	beside the	lucky guy,

	F#	D#7	G#m7	C#7
To never, n	ever know	the one who l	oves you so.	..

	F#	G#m7	Bdim	F#
No, you don't k	now me.
