[Intro]
D  G  x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
  D    G          D       G
So baby, when I'm near you
          D      G     D    G
You can't feel me, I'm lightnin'
            D      G
You used to come by
        D          G
And sit down by my side
          D            G
You would come in close
             D        G
And take off all my clothes
 
 
[Chorus]
G                                 A
Every time I think that I've been takin' the steps
D                        G
You end up mad at me for makin' a mess
        G           A                    D
I can't understand, why you don't understand me
G
Baby
    G                         A
And every day I wake up and I make money for myself
    D                                   G
And though we share a bed, you know that I don't need your help
       G
Do you understand?
A                 D
 You don't understand me
G
Baby
 
 
[Instrumental]
D  G  x2
 
 
[Verse 2]
        D  G
All the ivy
           D   G
Is growing sideways
          A       Bm
You won't stop it
                D         G
'Till it covers all my place
 
 
[Chorus]
G                                 A
Every time I think that I've been takin' the steps
D                        G
You end up mad at me for makin' a mess
        G           A                    D
I can't understand, why you don't understand me
G
Baby
    G                         A
And every day I wake up and I make money for myself
    D                                   G
And though we share a bed, you know that I don't need your help
       G
Do you understand?
A                 D
 You don't understand me
G
Baby
 
 
[Instrumental]
D  G  x4
 
 
[Bridge]
D
If I go right
G
 And you go left
D                  G
 Hey, I know we'll meet up again
 
D  G  x2
 
    D
And if you go left
    G
And I go right
D                       G
 Hey, maybe that's just life sometimes
 
A  G  D  G
 
 
[Chorus]
G                                 A
Every time I think that I've been takin' the steps
D                        G
You end up mad at me for makin' a mess
        G           A                    D
I can't understand, why you don't understand me
G
Baby
    G                         A
And every day I wake up and I make money for myself
    D                                   G
And though we share a bed, you know that I don't need your help
       G
Do you understand?
A                 D
 You don't understand me
G
Baby

Saw them on CBS Saturday Morning. Interesting group. Good job. 5 stars. Thanks.

For the D in the chorus, I like to add an F#—approximates the acoustic chord on the live version (an open C w capo on the 2nd fret). But I like the sound w open chords here!
