Pretenders, Don't Get Me Wrong (1986)
Key: :[C#] (w: Chrissie Hynde)
INTRO: [C#] [A#m] [F#] [G#]
VERSE 1:
Don't get me
[C#] wrong
If I'm looking kind of
[A#m] dazzled
I see
[F#] neon lights
Whenever you walk
[G#] by
VERSE 2:
Don't get me
[C#] wrong
If you say hello and
[A#m] I take a ride
Upon a sea where the
[F#] mystic moon
Is playing havoc
[G#] with the tide
CHORUS:
Don't get me
[C#] wrong
[A#m] [F#] [G#]
VERSE 3:
Don't get me
[C#] wrong
If I'm acting so dis-
[A#m]-tracted
I'm thinking about the
[F#] fireworks
That go off when you
[G#] smile
VERSE 4:
Don't get me
[C#] wrong
If I split like light re-
[A#m]-fracted
I'm only off to
[F#] wander
[G#]
Across a moonlit
[C#] mile
[C#]
BRIDGE:
[D#m] Once in a
[G#] while,
[D#m] two people
[G#] meet
[D#m] Seemingly for no
[G#] reason, they just
[D#m] pass on the
[G#] street
[D#m] Suddenly
[G#] thunder,
[D#m] showers every-
[G#]-where
[G#] Who can explain the thunder and rain, but there's something in the air
INSTRUMENTAL:
[C#] [A#m] [F#] [G#] //
[C#] [A#m] [F#] [G#]
VERSE 5:
Don't get me
[C#] wrong
If I come and go like
[A#m] fashion
I might be great to-
[F#]-morrow
But hopeless yester-
[G#]-day
VERSE 6:
Don't get me
[C#] wrong
If I fall in the mode of
[A#m] passion
It might be unbe-
[F#]-lievable
[G#]
But let's not say so
[A#m] long
OUTRO:
It might just be fan-
[F#]-tastic
[G#]
Don't get me
[A#m] wrong
[A#m] [A#m] [A#m open]
