Emotions

Words & Music by Mel Tillis & Ramsey Kearney
Recorded by Brenda Lee, 1960 (#1)


  D       F#7
Emotions,   what are you doin'?

               G                                Gm
Oh, don't you know, don't you know you'll be my ruin?

D              D6      F#m     B7
You've got me crying, crying again --

  E7                    A7       A7+5
When will you let this heartache end?


    D    F#7
Emotions,   you get me upset;

 G                           Gm
Why make me remember what I want to forget?

D          D6      F#m        B7
I've been lonely, lonely too long --

  G         A7               D   DM7   D7
Emotions, please leave me alone.


Bridge:

(D7)
You worry my days, 

          G
Yes, you torture my nights;

E7
Never a dream, no,

              A7
Those dreams never turn out right.



  D       F#7
Emotions,     aw, give me a break;

G                    Gm
Let me forget that I made a mistake.

D            D6              F#m       B7
Oh can't you see what you're doin' to me?

     G     A7            D    DM7   D7
Emotions, please set me free.


Repeat Bridge:


  D       F#7
Emotions,      aw, give me a break;

G                    Gm
Let me forget that I made a mistake.

D             D6             F#m       B7
Oh can't you see what you're doin' to me?

   G      G/G#  A7 (N.C.)         D    G   G/E    D6
Emotions,         please set me free.
