Chords for Brian Dunne: Don't Give Up On Me

_ _ _ _ _ I just got invited to my 10 year high school reunion. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] Just gonna let that [Abm] one simmer with this crowd for a [Ab] second.
_ _ _ Jesus. _
_ _ It's not a diss.
[Gb] _ _
Did you guys go to your reunion thing?
I was on my 10th, yeah.
I always thought I would go.
[C] I always thought I would have muscles by [G] now.
_ And that I would go in.
But as it turns out, if you don't work out, you don't get muscles.
_ [Cm] So, I don't think I'm gonna go, not because of the muscles,
but because spending [Db]
an evening locked in a room with everybody I went to high school with
[C] seems like a [Db] nightmare that I [G] once had.
[Abm] _ _
But I got to [Cm] reminiscing a little bit about the first school dance that I ever went to
when [Ab] I was 12, so last year.
But I _ _ _ _ _ found this bottle of Drakkar Noir in my dad's medicine cabinet.
Which if you don't know what [G] Drakkar Noir is, it's like hot liquid garbage
that you buy at the grocery store and then teenagers find it
and they pour it all over themselves [N] to mask the hormones and the fear before the dance.
So I went to the dance.
I was not a very good dancer.
Still am not.
And this girl came over, she asked me to dance.
And in hindsight I realized this was like a charity job,
but at the time I thought maybe I'm hot now [Eb] or something.
_ [Abm] And so we start dancing and she _ leans over to [N] say something to me,
which is to this day the most important moment of my life.
And I'll never forget what she said.
She just leaned over and she said,
_ You're on my foot.
[Abm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ [G] And I just said, oh I'm sorry, and I left.
I never talked [N] to her ever again.
_ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ But tying this all together, this is a_
I figured that like [N] relationships and love and stuff would get more complex than that,
but [C] actually it's all just kind of [Ab] like, you're on my foot, oh I'm sorry.
_ [N] And you kind of learn to navigate those waters.
[Fm] And [Cm] this is a song about the second half of that.
_ [Ab] Here we go.
_ _ [Db] _ _
[Ab] _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] Mountains crumble [Ab] and [Db] they fall.
[Ab] _ Trees tumble no matter [Db] how tall.
[Fm] From East Los Angeles to [Db] the Garden State [Ab] Parkway. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] I'm getting dressed [Ab] in the moonlight now.
Got my jacket on and I'm heading [Fm] out.
If I'm gonna lose you, [Db] I'm gonna lose you the [Ab] hard way.
[Db] _ _ [Ab] _
If [Fm] I'm gonna lose you, [Db] I'm gonna lose you the hard [Ab] way. _ _
_ But [Gb] if my words get fumbled, [Ab] well then this is what I meant to [Db] say. _ _ _ _
_ You [Fm] can make a good case [Db] out of my mistakes.
[Ab] You'd be right to write me [Eb] out.
Don't [Fm] give up, don't [Db]
give up on me [Ab] now.
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _
_ If you [Fm] need to throw a stone, you [Db] can throw a stone.
If [Ab] you wanna call me names, make [Eb] yourself at home.
Don't [Fm] give up, don't [Db] give up on me [Ab] now.
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _
Then you can kiss me once and I'll be satisfied.
_ _ Kiss me once, no baby, kiss me twice.
[Fm] Might as well take you for [Db] all I could take you for.
[Ab] _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ Make me a movie, make it a cliche.
_ Some things are supposed to be that way.
I wanna [Fm] shake and rattle you [Db] right down to your core.
[Ab] _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _
And I wanna [Bbm] burn through the [Ab] streets right up to your front [Db] door. _ _ _ _
_ You can [Fm] make a good case out [Db] of my mistakes.
You'd [Ab] be right to write me [Eb] out.
But don't [Fm] give up, don't [Db] give up [Ab] on me now.
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _
_ If you [Fm] need to throw a stone, you [Db] can throw a stone.
If [Ab] you wanna call me names, make [Eb] yourself at home.
Don't [Fm] give up, you can't [Db] give up on me [Ab] now.
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
[Ab] _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
[Dbm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
Mountains _ _ _ _ [Db] grow [Ab]
and [Db] they fall.
[Ab] _ Trees tumble no matter how tall.
[Fm] And anything real can [Db] sometimes hit the [Ab] ground.
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _
[Fm] Now there's no way your walls [Db] can keep from coming [Ab] down.
_ [Db] _ _ _
[Ab] _ [Fm] And you can make a good case [Db] out of my mistakes, you'd be [Ab] right to write me [Eb] out.
But [Fm] don't give up, don't [Ab] give up on now.
_ [Db] _ _
[Ab] _ If [Fm] you need to throw a stone, you can [Db] throw a stone.
[Ab] If you want to call me names, [Eb] make yourself at home.
[Fm] Don't give up, you can't [Db] give up on [Ab] me. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] Don't give up, [Db] don't give up on [Ab] me now.
_ [Db] _ _ _
[Ab] _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _

Thank you.
