Tip: Play the G as a bar chord at the 5th fret of the D string (D major shape). Sounds  
using open chords also. Experiment. 

G                          D 
Ohhh I, Don't know what to say 
G                        D 
And I, have told you lately 
G                                                       D 
That I'm tired of talking about the same old reasons we change 
G                                            D 
Just take it easy don't worry about these mistakes 

G 
Because I'm keeping it cool, now thinking about you, 
                                 D 
sticking around and if we should pay 
G 
Tied down,looking around and 
                                    D 
I know what I want so don't hold me down 

G                    D 
Oh I, I don't play games 
G                       D 
And I, I have been learning 
G                                                       D 
To just to let it all go and quiet when I feel like speaking 
G                                                       D 
My mind done whatever it is I need to make clear and just say 

G 
That I'm keeping it cool, now thinking about you, 
                                 D 
sticking around and if we should pay 
G 
Tied down, I'm looking around and 

I know what I want so don't hold me 
Bm   A   D 
down... 
Bm   A   D 
Down.... 
Bm   A   D 
Down.... 
		   A 
Don't you hold me down 

G 
Because I'm keeping it cool, now thinking about you, 
                                 D 
sticking around and if we should pay 
G 
Tied down,looking around and 
                                    D 
I know what I want so don't hold me down 

G                  D 
Oh I, I can't take it 
G                                   D 
So please please please won't you listen 
G                                                            D 
To the troubles all around me, I'm caught up and I'm barely breathin 
G                                                     D 
But I'm finding that holding on is harder than never leaving
