(verse 1) 

Am                               C 
Things will get better when it's Easter 
G                       C  
Are you still sick' Are you still sick' 
Am                      C       G            C 
People will be happy if I go, I won't go out again' 
Am                           C 
Bonnie don't you worry about me though 
G                     C 
I've never been free, no not really 
Am                           C 
Bonnie don't you worry about me though 
G                    C         E (then mute) 
I've never been free enough    
(verse 2) 
I loved it when we used to talk in palindromes 
And you would say, 'Back and forward' 
Remember when we used to kiss in high school 
I couldn't speak more than French 
Bonnie don't you worry about me though 
I've never been free, no not really 
Bonnie don't you worry about me though 
I'll never be free enough 



E     (mute strum through this line)     Am E F C E 
      Why would you mess with my head' 

(mute strum through this line) 
Cuss and then repeat what I said 
Am    E       F           C       G            C   
And I carry a machine gun just to fix what you want 
Am               E          F           C       G             C      Am      
Nicole don't you carry your machine gun just to spit what you want 



              (verse 3) 
You'll always be a part of my slide show 
And all those pics with folded corners 
Take another look at your title role 
It couldn't be more intense 
Bonnie don't you worry about me though 
I've never been free, no not really 
Bonnie don't you worry about me though 
I've never been free enough 




C    E (x4) Am xxx Am xxx Am 

               
      (Mute strum this entire part)   
Bonnie don't you worry about me though 
I've never been free, no not really 
Bonnie don't you worry about me though 
I've never been free enough 

                    (OUTRO/Chorus) 
 E          (Mute strum this line)          
        Why would you mess with my head' 

Am               E       F            C      G            C  
Nicole don't you carry a machine gun just to fix what you want' 
Am               E          F            C      G                C       F 
Nicole don't you carry your machine gun just to spit at what you want' 

             C    F             C       end on Am 
Its what you want, its what you want!
