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