Lyrics
(Dm)I know she said, “It’s al right.
You will make it up next time.”
(Dm)I know she knows it’s not right.
There ain’t no use in lyin’.
Well, (Dm)may be she thinks I know some thin’, may be, may (Bb)be she thinks it’s fine.
Or (Dm)may be she knows some thin’ I don’t.
I’m so,
I’m so tired,
I’m so tired of try in’.
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.
But 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 su’ly has some (F)oth er ties.
And
I would n’t wan na break ’em now, I would n’t wan na 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.
The hard er that you try, ba by, the hard er you’ll fall,
e ven with all the mon ey in the whole wide world.
(F)Please, please, please don’t pass me, please, please, please don’t pass me, please please, please don’t pass me by.
Ev ’ry thing you know a bout me, now ba by, you’re gon na have to change.
You’re gon na call it by a brand new name.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, (F)please, please, please don’t drag me, please, please, please don’t drag me, please, please, please don’t drag me down.
Just like the tree down by the wa ter, ba by, I shall not move,
e ven af ter all the sil ly things you do.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, (F)please, please, please don’t drag me, please, please, please don’t drag me, please, please, please don’t drag me down.
