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

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

But I should care, and I do

F#m Bm Fdim F#m F#m7 B7 Cdim
Maybe I won't find someone as lovely as you

I should care, I should care
Bm5-/7 E7 A Gm A7M
I should care, and I do
