Don’t Tell Me

Intro: E  C#m  B  A  x2

E           C#m                B       A
You held my hand and walked me home, I know.
E                    C#m                        B                      A
Why you gave me that kiss it was something like this it made me go oh-oh.
E            C#m                      B                          A
You wiped my tears, got rid of all my fears, why did you have to go?
E                      C#m                   B                         A
Guess it wasn't enough to take up some of my love, guys are so hard to trust.

[Pre-Chorus]

    A                   C#m
Did I not tell you that I'm not like that girl?
    A                    B
The one who gives it all away.

[Chorus] Palm Mute

C#m                      A                   E        B
Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you, this time?
C#m                       A                     E     B
Did you think that it was something I was gonna do and cry?
C#m          A               E
Don't try to tell me what to do,
             B               A/F#
Don't try to tell me what to say,
                       B
You're better off that way.
