Dm F Bb F (x2)
            Dm                           F
            I know she said it's alright
          Bb                                             F
            But you can make it up next time
            I know she knows it's not right
            There ain't no use in lying

            Maybe she thinks I know something, maybe
            Maybe she thinks it's fine
            Maybe she knows something I don't, I'm so
          Bb                C
            I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying

                             F                                C       C/Db
                               It seems to me that maybe
                             Dm                                A7
                               It pretty much always means no
                                    Bb                        C                        F    C
                               So don't tell me you might just let it go

                               And often times we're lazy
                               It seems to stand in my way
                               Cause no one, no, not no one likes to be let down

            I know she loves the sunrise
            No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
            And I know that when she said she's gonna try
            Well, it might not work because of other ties and

            I know she usually has some other ties
            And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah, I wouldn't want to break 'em
            Maybe she'll help me to untie this but
            Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie to you

                               It seems to me that maybe
                               It pretty much always means no
                               So don't tell me you might just let it go

                               And often times we're lazy
                               It seems to stand in my way
                               Cause no one, no, not no one likes to be let down

                               It seems to me that maybe
                               It pretty much always means no
                               So don't tell me you might just let it go

                                         Please please please don't pass me by

                                         Everything you know about me now baby you gonna have to change
                                         You goin' to call it by a brand new name
                                         Please please please don't drag me
                                         Please please please don't drag me
                                         Please please please don't drag me down

                                         Just like your tree down by the water baby I shall not move
                                         Even after all the silly things you do
                                         Please please please don't drag me
                                         Please please please don't drag me
