Not This Time Cultured Pearls Tabbed by: Leah Comia Intro: C Am F Fm G C Am F Fm C I've been sittin' in my bed With a glass in my hand E7 Tryin' to figure out a way For me to understand Am Bb To this talk we've just had C The questions I had asked about yesterday E7 About the sadness in your eyes But the biggest smile Am Bb C Are you facing away? F The questions I had asked about how you feel E7 Only eyes reveal Am D7 Your answer's not for real F Fm But I can't read your mind G C Not this time Chorus: Am I just want to know what you're going through F I don't feel wrong about asking you Fm I can't read your mind G C Not this time C I know that there are times When you don't want to say E7 That there are problems in your head That you can't explain Am Bb C I have been that way F Maybe there's a hug or a kiss or two E7 But not forever do Am D7 If only I'd reach you F Fm But I can't read your mind G C Not this time (Repeat Chorus) Instrumental: C Am F Fm G C Maybe I'm a child Maybe I'm a woman E7 Maybe I am old Maybe I said something Am Bb C Your reasons to push me away F Maybe I have laughed Maybe I have cried E7 But never did I try Am D7 To put hurt on your side F Fm But I can't read your mind G C Not this time (Repeat Chorus)
