Jewel – Love Me Just Leave Me Alone (Guitar)

D
  I saw you standing there.

F G
   You had gold dust in your pocket,

                                                F D
And you were combing barbed wire through your hair.

A
  You thought I didn't notice the skin on your teeth had a tear.

D
  To make me notice, you started to shout.

     G
Then you and all your minions

                                     D
Started flapping your tiny arms all about.

     A
They said you were the wise man.

                                D
When did they teach wise men to pout?

D
  I tried to forget you, but you tied bells to your name.

     G                                         D
They jingle everytime I thought of you without shame.

  A
I tried to be unlovable.

C                         D
  Why couldn't you do the same?

A
  What's the matter? Did your love need a home?

  G            D
Alright, then. Love me, just leave me alone.

D
  Your mother was a wolf bite; your daddy was a cigarette.

     G                                               D
Your brother was a rose bud, cross breath like a car wreck.

     A                            C                        D
Your sister was a stockbroker, but you ain't nothing but a turtleneck.

A
  What's the matter? Did your love need a home?

  G            D
Alright, then. Love me, just leave me alone.

D
  It's not your little boy smile, it's not your little boy name.

          G                                   D
It's those big boy hands that are the ones to blame.

    A
I'm trying to be unlovable.

                        D
Why couldn't you do the same?

A
  What's the matter? Did your love need a home?

  G            D
Alright, then. Love me, just leave me alone.

A
  What's the matter? Did your love need a home?

  G            D
Alright, then. Love me, just leave me alone.

D
Love me, just leave me alone.

D
Love me, just leave me alone.
