Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[G]
[C]Don't make me do

[Verse 1]
[G]it, don't
[C]make [G]me sell the things I love
[C]There's too[G] much happen[C]ing in thi[G]s world
[C]Don't cho[G]ose the
[C]other side right [G]away
[C]It's been [G]left alone [C]for [G]a while
[C]If

[Verse 2]
I can get to the words before
that first smoke

[Verse 3]
Everything seems to come out differently
[G]Leaving a[C][G][C][G][C][G]
[F]lar[C]ge [G]hole in my [C]hip[G]
[C]I've nev[G]er tried to [C]qui[G]t[C]
[G]Here I [C]go with the first
[G]drag of the [C]day
[G]Sometimes it makes me fall
backward[C]s on b[G]ack into bed
[C]Don't

[Verse 4]
stop me, don't correct me
Please don't interfere with me
I'm trying to write as fast as I
[G]can[C][G][C][G]
[C]
[G]Yesterday was[C]n't [G]so bad
[C]I tho[G]ught it a little wor[C]se than it [G]was[C]
I [G]don't know why I tried
[C]to [G]sabotage [C]my day
[G]I wanted everything my [C]own[G] way
[C]I

[Verse 5]
wanted it all my own way,
so don't apologize
I learn to devise these ways of explaining
away
[G][C][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 6]
[G][C]
Happen[G]stance,
you don't let me [C]take [G]a stand
[C]And it sit[G]s inside on the great white
[C]pick[G]et fence deep [C]inside
[G]Someday that fence is [C]go
ing to [G]fall in your yard
[C]And I hope [G]you didn't plant [C]anything too pre
[G]cious too close [C]to the boundary

[Verse 7]
[C]It's starting to sound like
it's time to sign off
But for once, I feel like [G]something might
[C]have happened
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 8]
[G]
[C]Maybe [G]I can't show t[C]his t[G]o you[C]
[G]Maybe I can't [C]show you [G]everything
[C]Som[G]e things have to be
[C]pre[G]cious and pure
[C]Som[G]e things have to stay insid[C]e of me[G]
[C]Or

[Verse 9]
else I've given everything away
I wanted it all this way
I learn to devise these ways
of explaining away

[Verse 10]
So don't blame [G]me,
[C]I won't blame you[G][C]
It's [G]just the first drag of

[Outro 1]
the day
[G][C][G][C][G][C][G]
[C]
