[Intro]
Strum Emadd9
Em D6sus2 C7 C7 x2
[Versse 1]
Em D6sus2
You line them up
C7
Look at your shoes
Em
You hang names on your wall
D6sus2 C7
Then you shoot them all
Em D6sus2
You fly around in planes
C7
That bring you down
Em
To meet me who loves you
D6sus2 C7
Like me crashing to the ground
D6sus2
Are you so lonely
C7
You don't even know me
D6sus2
But you'd like to stone me
[Chorus]
Em
Mr writer
G6
Why don't you tell it like it is
A7
Why don't you tell it like it really is
Cadd9
Before you go on home
Em D6sus2 C7 C7 x2
[Verse 2]
I used to treat you right
Give you my time
But when I'd turn my back on you
Then you do what you do
You've just enough
In my own view
Education to perform
I'd like to shoot you all
And then you go home
With you on your own
What do you really know
[Chorus]
Em
Mr writer
G6
Why don't you tell it like it is
A7
Why don't you tell it like it really is
Cadd9
Before you go on home
Em D6sus2 C7 C7 x2
And then you go home
With you on your own
What do you even know
Em
Mr writer
G6
Why don't you tell it like it is
A7
Why don't you tell it like it really is
Cadd9
Before you go on home
Em
Mr writer
G6
Why don't you tell it like it really is
A7
Why don't you tell it like it always is
Cadd9
Before you go on home
Em
Mr writer
G6
Why don't you tell it like it really is
A7
Why don't you tell it like it always is
Cadd9
Before you go on home
