[Intro]
Dm  F  Bb  F
Dm  F  Bb  F
 
[Verse]
Dm                     F
I know she said it's alright
Bb                         F
But you can make it up next time
Dm                         F
I know she said knows it's not right
Bb                    F
There ain't no use in Lying
Dm                  F
Maybe she thinks I know something
       Bb                         F
Maybe maybe she thinks it's fine
Dm                       F
Maybe she knows something I don't I'm so, 
Bb                 C
I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying
 
[Chorus]
F                     C
It seems to me that maybe
Dm                          A
It pretty much always means no
Bb                     C                F          C
So don't tell me you might just let it go
F                      C
And often times we're lazy
Dm                       A
It seems to stand in my way
Bb                      C                F         C
Cause no one no not no one wants to be let down
 
[Verse] (Guitar quiet)
Dm                     F
I know she loves the sunrise
Bb                           F
no longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
Dm                                    F
And I know that when she said she's gonna try
Bb                                  F
Well it might not work because of other ties and 
Dm                          F
I know she usually has some other ties
  Bb
And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah, 
F
I wouldn't want to break em
 
(Guitar loud again)
Dm                           F
Maybe she'll help me to untie this but
Bb                                  C
Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie to her
 
[Chorus]
F                     C
It seems to me that maybe
Dm                          A
It pretty much always means no
Bb                     C                F          C
So don't tell me you might just let it go
F                      C
And often times we're lazy
Dm                       A
It seems to stand in my way
Bb                      C                F         C
Cause no one no not no one wants to be let down
 
F                     C
It seems to me that maybe
Dm                          A
It pretty much always means no
Bb                     C                F          C
So don't tell me you might just let it go
F                      C
And often times we're lazy
Dm                       A
It seems to stand in my way
Bb                      C                F         C
Cause no one no not no one wants to be let down

ok, this is mostly a correction, its really simple if you listen to the song while playing it Intro--Dm/F/A#/F--2x verse--Dm/F/A#/F--3x, then Dm/F/A#/C chorus--F/C/Dm/A/A#/C/F/C--2x(listen for the changes) Verse 2 is played almost the same just softer threw the first half of the verse and the final passage of the verse is played A#/F/Dm/C then play the chorus twice and your done, if you want to play the quicker passage at the close of the song(Ben Harper solo) play a Dm on up beats till the end
