You Chords by Bill Withers

_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ You want [Dm] to take [E] me to a doctor [C] to _ [E] _ _
[Am] _ _ talk [C] to me [E] about my mind.
_ [Am] _ _ _ _
[A] _ Try to give [C] directions [E] to some places _ [C] _ [E] that _
[A] _ _ I [C] don't [E] really want [Am] to find.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ Trouble in me is not related _ _ to _ _ _ _ things that I [Em] might say [Am] or do.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ I'm really not that _ complicated. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Your good [C] doctor friend, he ought to talk to [A] you.
_ [C] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ I [C] notice that he can't [E] remember _ _ [C] things _ _
_ [A] _ that [C] he never [E] should forget.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ Why does he spend his [E] evening smoking _ [C] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ them [C] funny smelling [Am] cigarettes?
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ I have a friend that knows your best friend. _ _ _ _ _
_ He goes someplace that where she [Am] goes.
_ [Dm] He _ [C] _
_ _ _ said he saw you all at a party, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ sniffing white powder up your nose. _ _ _ _ _
_ He got the nerve to call me [E] narrow-minded, _ [C] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ cause I'm not loose and indiscreet.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ People [C] lying down always get [E] _ blinded [C] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [E] _ by [C] people standing on [E] their own two feet.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [E] Life [C] is just a shadow [Em] _
[E] that I [C] just can't seem to find _ _ sometimes.
Oh Lordy, _ [E] sometimes.
_ [C] _ _ _ _
_ But I guess I'll make it, cause I found out that it's [E] really [C] in my _ mind.
Really all in [E] my mind.
_ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ Shouldn't take it too _ [Em]
seriously, [E] cause it [C] really ain't gonna [G] last too long.
[C] _ Really ain't gonna [E] last too long.
[C] _ _ _ [Am] _
[A] You really only [C] got two choices.
[Em]
You [E] can lay down [C] and be weak.
Or you [E] can stand up [C] where you at and [Am] still be strong.
[C] _ Stand up and still be strong. _ _ _ _
[G] Hey, tomorrow _ [C] depends too much on today, yesterday.
_ How _ [E] all that [C] gentleman is to you [A] is gone.
_ [C] _ All he [G] is is gone.
_ [C] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ All you [C] find out looking back [E] is the fact [C] that both of us [G] was wrong.
_ [C] _ Both of [E] us was wrong.
_ [C] _ _ [Am] Hey, [E] now you're talking right to me, [C] but you really ain't [E] saying a thing.
_ _ [C] _ _ [Am]
You're pouring muddy water on [C] me, trying to [Am] convince me it's rain.
_ [C] _ _ _ _
[E] Now you're talking to me [C] crazy, but you're trying to make me [E] feel insane.
[C] I know it feels [E] insane.
_ [C] _ _ _
You're like a Sunday family digging animals in the zoo, Lordy.
_ [Em] _
But [E] while you're looking at [C] monkeys, monkeys looking dead [E] at you.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [E] _
Two people getting [C] done trying to figure who's doing who. _ _ _ _ _ _
If you're throwing dirt at people, you got to get some dirt on you.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [Am]
I got to take a ton of [C] lies just to get an ounce of truth from you. _ _ _ _
You're like a man loving Jesus, says he can't stand the [E] Jews.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[E] Hey, get down [C] and play the [Em] duds. _
[E] Talk about the folks [C] from your mama to your [E] cousin.
You hear it down and [C] down, now you [Am] know what I'm talking about.
_ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _
[E] Get [C] on down and play the duds.
Talk about the folks from your mama to your cousin.
Now they hear it out loud, you know [Am] what I'm talking about.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
