    Dont Hold Your Breath

This one was on her Girlysound demo tapes, and I took quite a liking to it, but couldn't 
find a tab for it. It's actually pretty simple. It goes along with the live version; 
the taped version sounds just a little bit different.

(Standard tuning, Capo 2nd)

**On the D in each verse, take your finger off the first string and play it with the 
high E open. Alternate between that and the standard D chord.

You might want to mess around with the G a little too and see what sounds best.


D                    G
I don't have what it takes to stay with you
    D                        G
And I'm leaving in under ten days, it's not what I'd planned
    D                              G
But anyway, you know, by and large anywhere I go
             D                   G
I won't find anyone who loves me enough to make you look bad

D                   G
All the cars on the road are driving away from here
    D                          G
But I'm still looking under my nose to see who I am
    D                          G
But anywhere I go, standing at any kind of show
             D                                    G
I won't find anyone who'll tell me what I need to know
That's not how it's done

    D                              G
But anyway, you know, by and large anywhere I go
             D                   G
I won't find anyone who loves me enough


     A    G       D
If I ever pay you back
      A         G        D
If my money and wallet's intact
     A        G       D         Em
I'll probably be in a box lying down
A       G         D
Loosely suited in black
