Lyrics

[Intro]
Dadd11 C
G G6sus4 G    Dadd11        C
          Go away   from my window

[Verse 1]
  Dadd11        D/F#       G    G6sus4 G
Go      at your own chosen speed
   Dadd11                C
I'm      not the one you want, babe
    Dadd11       D/F#        G
I'm not   the one    you need
    Dadd11                  C
You say   you're looking for someone
      Dadd11                 C
Never weak  but always strong
          Dadd11          C
To protect      you and defend you
        Dadd11             D/F#
Whether you   are right or wrong
    C                              D/F#
Someone to open each and every door
             G
But it ain't me, babe

[Chorus]
C                    G
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
         C        D/F#            G    G6sus4 G
It ain't me you're    looking for, babe

[Verse 2]
G6sus4 G   Dadd11                 C
        Go lightly from the ledge, babe
   Dadd11  C            G G6sus4 G
Go lightly on the ground
    Dadd11            C
I'm not   the one you want, babe
       Dadd11 D/F#      G
I will only let you down
    Dadd11               C
You say   you're lookin' for someone
            Dadd11        C
Who will promise never to part
    Dadd11             C
Someone   to close his eyes for you
    Dadd11                  D/F#
Someone   to close his heart
    C                         D/F#
Someone who'd die for you and more
             G
But it ain't me, babe

[Chorus]
C                    G
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
         C        D/F#            G    G6sus4 G
It ain't me you're    looking for, babe

[Verse 3]
G6sus4 G   Dadd11                  C
        Go melt  back in the night, babe
   Dadd11    C          G    G6sus4 G
Everything inside me is stone
        Dadd11          C
There's nothing in here moving
    Dadd11 D/F#         G
And anyway I'm not alone
    Dadd11               C
You say   you're lookin' for someone
              Dadd11              C
To pick you up      each time you fall
   Dadd11         C
To gather flowers constantly
       Dadd11                  D/F#
And to come  each time you call
  C                                   D/F#
A lover for your life and nothing more
             G
But it ain't me, babe

[Chorus]
C                    G
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
         C        D/F#            G    G6sus4 G
It ain't me you're    looking for, babe
