G                                      D       
Four that wanna own me, two that wanna stone me

Lighten up while you still can       
                  C                    G       
Don't even try to understand       
                Am                              C                             G

               C                                G       
Slowin' down to take a look at me       
                 Em                      C G       
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
