I Should Care
Words & Music by Sammy Cahn, Axel Stordahl & Paul WestonRecorded by Paul Weston Orchestra, 1945
A F#m F#m7 Dm Bm7-5 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
Bm7-5 E7 Fdim E7
And as far as I'm concerned,
Bm7 E7 F#M7 Bm7 E7 AM7
I should care -- I should go around weeping;
Em F#7 Bm7 Bm
I should care -- I should go without sleeping.
F#m Bm7-5 E7 FM7 Em7 AM7 F#m7
Strangely enough I sleep well, except for a dream or two;
D#m7-5 C#7 F#m Am+7
But then, I count my sheep well--
B7 Bm7 E7 E+
Funny how sheep can lull you to sleep. So,
Bm7-5 E7 AM7 Bm7 E7 AM7
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(III) 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.
(Instrumental interlude -- first two lines of verse)
Bm7 E7 AM7 Bm7 E7 AM7 Em F#7 Bm7 Dm
F#m Bm Fdim(III) F#m F#m7 B7 Cdim
Maybe I won't find someone as lovely as you,
Bm7-5 E7 C#m7-5 F#7
I should care, I should care,
Bm7-5 E7 A Gm AM7
I should care, and I do.
