Song: Don't tell me
 
[Verse 1]
D       Am         C      G
Don't tell me to stop
D       Am            C      G
Tell the rain not to drop
D        Am           C      G
Tell the wind not to blow
D       Am      C      G
'Cause you said so, mmm
 
[Chorus]
D       Am           C      G
Tell the sun not to shine
      D       Am         C    G
Not to get up this time, no, no
D       Am         C      G
Let it fall by the way
        D       Am         C      G
But don't leave me where I lay down
 
[Chorus]
D    Am    C        G
Tell me love isn't true
             D       Am      C      G
It's just something that we do
D    Am    C          G
Tell me everything I'm not
      D          Am         C      G
But please don't tell me to stop
      D       Am            C      G
But don't ever tell me to stop
 
[Verse 2]
D       Am               C      G
Tell the leaves not to turn
          D       Am         C      G
But don't ever tell me I'll learn, no, no
D       Am             C      G
Take the black off a crow
          D       Am         C      G
But don't tell me I have to go
D       Am         C      G
Tell the bed not to lay
         D       Am          C      G
Like the open mouth of a grave, yeah
D       Am         C      G
Not to stare up at me
        D       Am          C      G
Like a calf down on its knees
D  Am   C   G  (repeated)
 
[Chorus 2]
(muted)
Tell me love isn't true
(muted)
It's just something that we do
D    Am       C      G
Tell me everything I'm not
    D           Am           C      G
But please don't tell me to stop
    D           Am           C      G
But don't ever tell me to stop

[Outro]
  D       Am   C   G
(Don't you ever)
D       Am
Please don't
C        G
Please don't
D           Am           C      G
Please don't tell me to stop
(Don't you ever)
D      Am   C  G
Don't you ever
D        Am             C     G
Don't ever tell me to stop
(Tell the rain not to drop)
D         Am           C   G
Tell the bed not to lay
         D      Am        C      G
Like a open mouth of a grave, yeah
D          Am        C     G
Not to stare up at me
       D       Am        C        G
Like a calf down on its knees
 
 
 
D    Am    C     G    (repeated until your fingers bleed)

Thanks. Not sure why there’s an F in the chord diagrams in intro, though? As couldn’t find one in the tabs for the song.
