• Song:

    Dont Sell Me Short

  • Artist:

    Bad Religion

Capo on 3

Standard tuning.

This is very similar to what is considered "Version 2" at the writing of this tab. 
But I play it slightly differently. I also cleaned up the location of the chords 
over the words and added an outro using the chorus.

INTRO:
Em C Em C Em C D (x2)


Em  C     G            D 
we don't need any more mountains 
            Em
Because the trail builders 
C                 Em             C
Failed to give us passage there 
       G              D 
So we can't reach the sky 


Em  C     G            D 
We don't need any more failure 
         Em           C
There is human tragedy 
               Em          C
That's written everywhere 
            G               D 
And we are all too young to die 


       Em   D         G       C 
Like a mystery that's here to stay 
     Em      D    G     C 
Some people never go away 
                               Bm
Cause they've got something to saaaaaaaay 


               Em          C 
Don't sell me short!   Woooaahh!
            G         D 
You've been wrong too long 
               Em         C 
Don't brush me of!    Woooaahh!
     G               D 
Just because I don't belong 
         Em                   C 
Like it or not I'm all you've got, 
  G                 D 
Dispose me when I'm shot 
                   Em           C 
Just don't sell me short,    Woooaahh!
        G      D       Em       
I might not be who you thought 


Em -C - Em - C - Em - C - D 


Em  C     G             D 
We don't need any more fables 
           C             Em
Because the writers have passed 
             C          Em
And left us lesson-less 
             G           D 
Now we must find our own way 


Em C     G             D 
We don't need any more privilege 
         C           Em    
There is vivid desperation 
        C          Em
That is powerless 
         G          D
That no surplus can repay 


         Em     D       G   C 
Like the fix of rapture in a trance 
       Em        D         G     C 
Oh the fates are sealed by circumstance 
                         Bm 
So you've got to take a chaaaaance 


              Em         C 
Don't sell me short!  Woooaah!
            G         D 
You've been wrong too long 
               Em       C 
Don't brush me off!  Woooahh!
     G               D 
Just because I don't belong
           Em             C 
Pass me on by, ignore my cry, 
G                D 
Forget me when I die 
                   Em          C 
Just don't sell me short,   Woooahh!
    G         D     Em 
Not while I'm still alive 


Em C Em C Em C D (2X) 


Em          C         Em             D 
everybody's talking about heaven on earth, 
Em                  C       Em               D 
I'm still trying to figure out just what I'm worth 
Em          C           Em              D 
I'm full of emotion and stuff you can't contain 
     Em              C                 Bm (Let ring over)
and you just want to flush me down the drain 
                          Em           C
but you can't make me go away.... Wooooaahh!


            G         D 
You've been wrong too long 
               Em         C 
Don't brush me of!    Woooaahh!
     G               D 
just because I don't belong 
         Em                   C 
like it or not I'm all you've got, 
  G                 D 
dispose me when I'm shot 
                   Em           C 
just don't sell me short,    Woooaahh!
        G      D       Em       
I might not be who you thought 


              Em         C 
Don't sell me short!  Woooaah!
            G         D 
You've been wrong too long 
               Em       C 
Don't brush me off!  Woooahh!
     G               D 
Just because I don't belong
           Em             C 
Pass me on by, ignore my cry, 
G                D 
Forget me when I die 
                   Em          C 
Just don't sell me short,   Woooahh!
    G         D     Em 
Not while I'm still alive!
