                           If You Don't, Don't
 
 Capo 1st Fret
 
 Verse 1:
              Cmaj7           Fmaj7b5
 What's wrong baby, don't they treat you like they should?
                 Cmaj7          Fmaj7b5
 Did you take 'em for it?  Every penny that you could?
          Am
 We once walked out on the beach,
             F
 And once I almost touched your hand.
           C                                      Gsus
 Oh how I dreamed to finally say such things then only to pretend.
 
 Verse 2:
 Don't you know I'm thinkin', drivin' 405 past midnight.
 You know I miss you.  Ninth and Ash on a Tuesday night.
 I would write to you from a museum mile,
 Toast to you: your whisper, your smile.
 Up the stairs at the Weatherford, a ghost each place I hide.
 
 Chorus:
         F                           G
 If you don't don't know, why'd you say so?
            Em                     F
 Would you mean this please if it happens?
         F                         G
 If you don't know, why would you say so?
           Em              F
 Won't you get your story straight.
         F                            G
 If you don't know, honey, why'd you just say so?
           Em                        F
 'Cause I need this now more than I ever did.
         F                       G
 If you don't well, honey, then you don't.
 
 Verse 3:
 I left you waiting, at the least could we be friends?
 Should have never started, ain't that the way it always ends?
 On my life I'll try today,
 There's so much I've felt I should say, but
 Even if your heart would listen, doubt I could explain.
 
 Chorus
 
 Instrumental (Verse)
 
 Verse 4:
 So here we are now, a sip of wine, a sip of water.
 Someday maybe, maybe someday we'll be smarter.
 And I'm sorry that I'm such a mess,
 I drank all my money could get and,
 Took everything you let me have, and then I never loved you back.
 
 Chorus
