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