Capo on third fret
[Verse 1] Fingerstyle pattern: C A C E
C
When I cry I cry over a river
So my tears can go somewhere
G
I don't cry all over my pillow
Leaving mascara stains everywhere
C
If you hurt me then I'll hurt back
I'll hurt back twice as hard
G
You know words can cut like a knife
And sometimes they leave nasty
D
scars D (strumming DDU UDU UDU UDU)
[Chorus] Same strumming pattern (DDU UDU UDU UDU)
C
Don't accuse me
G
Don't accuse me of doing wrong of doing wrong
C
When you don't know me
G D
You don't know me at all at all
Am
And you're a fool for thinking that you do
C
When I've never opened up never
Em
opened up to you
[Verse 2]
C
If you shout at me then I'll shout louder
Maybe I'll even scream
G
You know not everything that you see is always as it seems
C
I won't let you walk over me
No I won't let you hurt my feelings
Em
See you in your bad see you in
C
your bad dreams
[Chorus]
C
Don't accuse me
G
Don't accuse me of doing wrong of doing wrong
C
When you don't know me
G D
You don't know me at all at all
Am
And you're a fool for thinking that you do
C
When I've never opened up
Em
never opened up to you
[Bridge]
C
Maybe I was mean but so were you
Em
Always so easy to accuse
D
But think about what you do too
C
Maybe I was mean but so were you
Em
Always so easy to accuse
D
But think about but think about but think about what you do too
[Chorus]
C
Don't accuse me
G
Don't accuse me of doing wrong of doing wrong
C
When you don't know me
G D
You don't know me at all at all
Am
And you're a fool for thinking that you do
C
When I've never opened up
Em
never opened up to you
