                                D7            G      D 
         Guess I didn't fit the image in your mind 
                 G          C            D 
         Now you tell me to find another lover 
            A                              D    D/C  D/B  D/A

         CHORUS 
         G          C          D 
         Don't tell me what to do 
                        D7          G        D 
         You've already said we are through 
               G

                C      C/B     Am 
         I'm no longer your concern 
            D 
         So don't tell me what to do 
              D7                         G         D - G 
         I'll love you forever if I want to 
 

                 G         C            D 
         Your no longer in charge of my thinkin' 
                           D7                G      D 
         You're already in love with someone else 
               G        C               D 
         So if I'm into all night honky tonkin' 
                    A                                  D    D/C  D/B  D/A
