say you don’t want it – one night only tab

standard tuning
capo 3 – ( all chords and riffs are relative to the capo )

note : the verse pattern of | A | Em | G | D | can be changed to | A | Em | G Em | D | ,
whereby the “em” is ( 022000 ) and is played on the 6th quaver beat of the
bar , which follows the vocal line more closely . also , i find playing D
as ( x00232 ) gives a slightly fuller sound . feel free to contact me at

verse :

A Em
talk all the talk with a poet’s style
G D
tongue like electric , eyes like a child
A Em
buy all your wives and the classic cars
G D
live like a savior , live like the stars
A Em
talk all the talk with a model’s smile
G D
tongue like electric , eyes like a child
A Em
buy all your highs and the classic cars
G D
and die on the front page , just like the stars

chorus :

A Em
the big screens , the plastic – made dreams
G D
say you don’t want it , say you don’t want it
A Em
it’s our world , the picture – book girls
G D
say you don’t want it , say you don’t want it
A Em
don’t you ask me if it’s love my dear
G D
love don’t really mean a thing round here
A Em
the fake scenes the plastic – made dreams
G D
say you don’t want it , say you don’t want it

>

( verse and chorus chord pattern is identical throughout )

pace all the rooms with a jealous style
tongue like electric , eyes like a child
paint all your soul with the grand designs
preach like a savior , your heart on the line
talk all the talk with a model’s smile
tongue like electric , eyes like a child
buy all your highs and the classic cars
and die on the front page , just like the stars

the big screens , the plastic – made dreams
say you don’t want it , say you don’t want it
it’s our world , the picture – book girls
say you don’t want it , say you don’t want it
don’t you ask me if it’s love my dear
love don’t really mean a thing round here
the fake scenes the plastic – made dreams
say you don’t want it , say you don’t want it
