[Verse 1]
 
Dm                     F
 I know she said it's alright
Bb                               F
   But you can make it up next time
Dm                       F
I know she knows it's not right
Bb                          F
   There ain't no use in lying
Dm                      F
Maybe she thinks I know something
       Bb                           F
Maybe maybe, she thinks it's fine
Dm                   F
Maybe she knows something I don't
       Bb            C
I'm so, I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F                       C
  It seems to me that maybe
Dm                        A
  It pretty much always means no
   Bb                  C                   F            C
So don't tell me you might just let it go
F                        C
  And often times we're lazy
Dm                      A
   It seems to stand in my way
    Bb                 C
Cause no one, no, not no one
                     F             C
Likes to be let down
 
 
[Verse 2] (there are rhythm changes in this verse)
 
Dm (hold)               F (hold)
I know she loves the sunrise
Bb (hold)                         F (hold)
   No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
    Dm (hold)                         F (hold)
And I know that when she said she's gonna try
Bb (hold)                           F (hold)
Well it might not work because of other ties and
Dm                            F
I know she usually has some other ties
    Bb                               F
And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah, I wouldn't want to break 'em
Dm                       F
   Maybe she'll help me to untie this but
Bb              C
Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie too
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F                       C
  It seems to me that maybe
Dm                        A
  It pretty much always means no
   Bb                  C                   F            C
So don't tell me you might just let it go
F                        C
  And often times we're lazy
Dm                      A
   It seems to stand in my way
    Bb                 C
Cause no one, no, not no one
                     F             C
Likes to be let down
 
F                       C
  It seems to me that maybe
Dm                        A
  It pretty much always means no
   Bb                  C                   F            C
So don't tell me you might just let it go

F                                                 Bb
The harder that you try baby, the further you'll fall
           F                     C
Even with all the money in the whole wide world
F
Please, please, please don't pass me
Bb
Please, please, please don't pass me
F               C                    F
Please, please, please don't pass me by
 
 
               F                                         Bb
Everything you know about me now, baby you gonna have to change
              F                       C
You goin' to call it, by a brand new name
F
Please, please, please don't drag me
Bb
Please, please, please don't drag me
F               C                     F
Please, please, please don't drag me down
 
 
               F                                         Bb
Just like your tree, down by the water, baby I shall not move
           F                        C
Even after all the silly things you do
F
Please, please, please don't drag me
Bb
Please, please, please don't drag me
F               C                    F               F
Please, please, please don't drag me down
