    Dear Inez
         C              G#
    Your exterior is so cold
C                     G#
    Your story's been told
                  C
    I've heard it before
C                 G#
    You wanna get out
C                  G#
    Don't wanna be down
C               G#
    Tied to the ground
C                        G#5
    You wanna slip out


CHORUS:

Bb5     F5           G#5       Bb5

    You got a son

    You don't want none  

VERSE:
Don't wanna be part  
Your breaking my heart  
As he wanders off
He ain't got none  
Dear Inez  
The kid is trouble at trouble  
He's gonna push, all around  

CHORUS:
You wanna go and do your thing  
You never have a wedding ring  
You got something  

BRIDGE: 
G5        D#5  F5      G5
    Why's everything so rough  
          D#5  F5       G5
    Why's everything so hard  
          D#5 F5      G#5     C5   G#5
    Why's everyone so wrong

VERSE: 
It's not me  
You gotta believe  
I know who you love  
I only know how to push and shove  
Give me a break  
All I have I have to take  
Never a hand out  
You think you have me figured out  
This is what I'm all about

CHORUS:
You wanna go and have your fun  
You never think of anyone  
Don't do nothing  

BRIDGE: 
Why's everything so rough  
Why's everything so hard  
Why's everyone so wrong  
   C5      G#5
So wrong
   C5      G#5
So wrong
   C#5
So wrong

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE:
Don't know yet.

VERSE: 
Dear Inez  
Your exterior is so cold  
Dear Inez there's something about you  
You wanna go and have your fun  
You got a son  
You don't want none  

OUTRO:
Bb
I've been there I'm trying and I don't give a damn  
I'm gonna cash my checks  
Money in my hands  
No thanks the world is okay by me  
                               G#5
If your gonna blame it on society
