[Dm] [F]
[Bb] [F]
[Dm] [F]
[Bb] [F]
[Dm] I know she [F] says all right, [Bb] but you won't make it up [F] next time.
I [Dm] know she knows [F] it's not right, [Bb] there ain't no [F] use in lying.
[Dm] Maybe she thinks [F] I know something, maybe, [Bb] maybe she thinks [F] it's fine.
[Dm] Or maybe she knows [F] something I don't.
I'm [Bb] so, I'm so tired, [C] I'm so tired of [F] trying.
Seems to me [C] that maybe, [Dm] it pretty much [A] always means no.
[Bb] So don't tell me [C] you might just let [E] it [F] go.
[C]
And often times we're lazy, [Dm] it seems to stand [A] in my way.
[Bb] Cause no one, no [C] not no one likes to be [F] let down.
[C]
[Dm] I know she loves [F] the [Dm] sunrise, [Bb] no longer sees [F] it with her sleeping eyes.
And I know that when she said she's gonna try, [Eb] well it might not work [F] because of other [Dm] ties.
And I know she [F] usually has some other ties [Bb] and I wouldn't wanna break [F] them.
I wouldn't wanna break [Dm] them, maybe she'll help [F] me to untie [Bb] this.
Until then, [C] well, I'm [F] gonna have to lie to her.
It seems to me [G] that [C] maybe, [Dm] it pretty much [A] always means no.
[Bb] So don't tell me [C] you might just let [F] it go.
[C]
[F] And often [C] times we're lazy, [Dm] it seems to stand [Am] in [Em] my [F] way.
[Bb] Cause no one, no [C] not no one likes to be [F] let down.
[C]
[F] It seems to me that [C]
maybe, [Dm] it pretty much [Am] always [D] means [F] no.
[Bb] So don't tell me [C] you might just let [F] it go.
[C]
[Fm]
[Ab] [Fm]
Out of that jar baby, the food of your bones.
All the money in the whole wide world.
Please, please, please don't ask, please, please, please don't ask.
Please, please, please don't ask about it.
Everything you know about me now baby, [F] you're gonna have to change.
Don't [Fm] call it by a brand new [C] name.
[Bb] [F] Please, please, please don't ask, please, please, [Fm] please don't ask.
Please, please, please don't ask about it.
Cause life goes deep down [F] by the water baby, I shall not move.
And all the silly [C] things you do.
[Gm] [Fm] Please, please, please don't ask, [Bb]
please, please, please [Fm] don't ask.
Please, please, please don't drag me down.
