Dont Sell Me Short

E|-----------| Version 3 is better. Go there.--------------------------- 





Seems right to me but may be completely wrong.

Standard tuning.

Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]

Em G C Em G D

[Verse]

Em  C     G    D
we don't need any more mountains
C
because the trail builders
G         D
failed to give us passage there
C     G       D
so we can't reach the sky
Em  C     G     D
we don't need any more failure
C
there is human tragedy
G       D
that's written everywhere
C          G             D
and we are all too young to die
Em      D             G        C
like a mystery that's here to stay
Em    D      G        C
some people never go away
B                      B7
cause they've got something to say

[Chorus]

Em            C
don't sell me short!
G                 D
you've been wrong too long
Em             C
don't brush me off
G                    D
just because I don't belong
Em             C
like it or not I'm all you've got,
G          C        D
dispose me when I'm shot
Em                 C
just don't sell me short,
G                      D
I might not be who you thought

Em G C Em G D

[Verse 2]

Em  C     G             D
we don't need any more fables
C                   G
because the writers have passed
D
and left us lesson-less
    C       G            D
and we must find our own way
Em C     G             D
we don't need any more privilege
C              G
there is vivid desperation
D
that is powerless
     C          G   D
that no surplus can repay
Em       D      G            C
like the fix of rapture in a trance
    Em        D         G     C
oh, fates are sealed by circumstance
B                       B7
so you've got to take a chance

[Chorus]

Em            C
don't sell me short!
G                 D
you've been wrong too long
Em             C
don't brush me off
G                    D
just because I don't belong
Em             C
pass me on by, ignore my cry,
G         C      D
forget me when I die
Em                 C
just don't sell me short,
    G               D
not while I'm still alive

Em G C Em G D (2X)

[Verse 3]

Em          C             Em        D
everybody's talking about heaven on earth,
Em                  C           Em           D
I'm still trying to figure out just what I'm worth
Em          C           Em              D
I'm full of emotion and stuff you can't contain
Em           C       Em       D        C
and you just want to flush me down the drain
Em      C     G          D
but you can't make me go away
