Intro: C Am C Am 

C                         Am
Please don't ask about Barbara 
Em                      Am            C
Don't ask me if she's found somebody new 
F                C        F                   C
'cause I would try to smile but in a little while 
F                        G                   C
My tears would show and then you'd know it's true 
 
C                         Am
Please don't ask about Barbara 
Em                        Am              C
The hurt will bring the teardrops to my eyes 
F               C      F                   C
Though I would pretend that now she's just a friend 
F                       G                   C   C7
You'd look at me and see right through the lies 
 
F              Am        F              Am
Tears, tears, go away, come again another day 
C             Am              F
How can I hide this pain I feel inside 
               Am               G
When little teardrops give my heart away? 
 
C                     Am
Don't you ever tell Barbara 
Em                        Am             C
I'd rather die than let her know I'm cryin' 
F             C      F                     C
Let her run around until the day she's found 
F              C       F                         G
She needs me back again but this I ask till then 
C                       Am
