Lyrics
(Dm)I know she said it’s al right,
but you can make it up next time.
(Dm)I know she knows it’s not right.
There ain’t no use in ly (F)ing.
(Dm)May be she thinks I know some thing, may be, may (Bb)be she thinks it’s fine.
(Dm)May be she knows some thing I don’t.
I’m so, I’m so ti red,
I’m so tired of try ing.
It seems to me that “may be,”
it pret ty much al ways means “no.”
So don’t tell me; you (C)might just let it go.
And of ten times we’re la
zy.
It seems to stand in my way.
’Cause (Bb)no one, no, not no one likes to be let down.
(Dm)I know she loves the sun rise,
no long er sees it with her (F)sleep ing eyes and...
I know that when she said she’s (F)gon na try, well, it might not work be cause of (F)oth er ties and...
I know she u s’lly has some (F)oth er ties and, uh, I would n’t want to break ’em, nah, I would n’t want to break ’em.
May be she’ll help me (F)to un tie this, but un til then, well,
I’m gon na have to lie, too.
It seems to me that “may
be,”
it pret ty much al ways means “no.”
So don’t tell me; you (C)might just let it go.
(F)Hard er than you try, ba by, the fur ther you’ll (Bb)fall,
e ven with (F)all the mon ey in the (C)whole wide world.
(F)Please, please, please don’t pass me...
(Bb)Please, please, please don’t pass me...
(C)Please, please, (Bb)please don’t pass me (F)by.
Ev ’ry thing you know a bout me now, ba by, you gon na have to (Bb)change.
You gon na (F)call it by a brand new (C)name, ooh, ooh.
(F)Please, please, please don’t drag me...
(Bb)Please, please, please don’t drag me...
(C)Please, please, (Bb)please don’t drag me (F)down.
Just like a tree down by the wa ter, ba by, I shall not (Bb)move,
e ven af ter (F)all the sil ly things you (C)do, ooh, ooh, ooh.
(F)Please, please, please don’t drag me...
(Bb)Please, please, please don’t drag me...
(C)Please, please, (Bb)please don’t drag me (F)down.
