Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
N.C.
Don’t you dare say that you’ll braid my hair, babe
N.C.
If you don’t really care
Em
You wanted me sadder, you wanted me sadder
D A G
Fishtail, what’s the matter? Ah-ah, ah, ah-ah
[Verse 1]
Em
Skippin’ rope in the bayou, bayou
D
Slip softly in terrain
A G
Not that smart, but I’ve got things to say
Em
Palm trees in black and white
D
I like to watch them sway
A G Em
You’re so funny, I wish I could skinny-dip inside your mind
[Pre-Chorus]
D A
Lately, I’ve been thinkin’ about how things used to be
G Em
Swingin’ in a nightgown underneath the old oak tree
D A
Almost Victorian with you, you can talk to me
N.C.
But, lately, I can see
[Chorus]
Em D
You wanted me sadder, you wanted me sadder (Baby)
G A
Can’t you see it?
Em
For me, you are the one
D
And if I’m not the one for you
G F#m
Don’t you say it
Em
I was on the stairs
D
Ella Fitzgerald in the air
Feelin’ hella rare
G
Baby, if you care
Baby, don’t you dare say
F#7
You’ll braid my hair, babe
Em D
Don’t you dare say that you’ll braid my hair, babe
G
If you don’t really care
A
You wanted me sadder
[Verse 2]
Em
Dancin’ there in the hot, hot sun
D
I know that we’ve got problems
A Em
I plan to address them another day
Em
Palm trees in black and white
D
I see in technicolor
A Em Em
Maybe I’ll take my glasses off so I stop painting red flags green
[Pre-Chorus]
Em D G
Lately, I’ve been sunnin’ in the L.A. riverbed
A Em
Wearin’ nothin’ but the summer bruises on my knees
D G
I like how you talk, how you speak, how you look at me
D
But, lately, I can see
[Chorus]
Em
You wanted me sadder (Baby)
D
You wanted me sadder
D
You wanted me sadder
G
Can’t you see it?
Em
For me, you are the one
D
And if I’m not the one for you
G
Don’t just say it
Em
I was on the stairs
D
Ella Fitzgerald in the air
Feelin’ hella rare
G
Baby, if you care
Baby, don’t you dare say
F#
You’ll braid my hair, see
Em
Baby, if you care, then (Don’t you dare say that you’ll braid my hair, see)
D
Baby, don’t you dare say
G D
That you really care
Em D
Don’t you dare say that you’ll braid my hair
G
When you get home tonight
F#
And if you don’t really care
Em D
Yeah, don’t you dare say that you’ll braid my hair, babe
G
If you don’t really care, see
F#
Don’t you braid my hair
Em D G
If you’re not coming home to me
[Outro]
D
You want someone sadder
Em
Skippin’ rope in the bayou, bayou
D
Slip softly in terrain
G
I’m not that smart
D
But I’ve got things to say
