Strum
D-DU-UDU
 It's  the place and your friends  that got me down
 Telling me I should not  hang around
 There's  a sign in the window
 Telling  me I've got to  go
 Uh uh uh
 Uh uh uh
 Uh uh uh
 I  see the signs every day
 In  your face and in the way  that you act
 It's  not that that hurts my  pride
 Now  I see the other side  of you
 The side  that won't let down  the side that wont let go
 Not Yet :/
 (Repeat)
 Didn't mean for me to see
 the things I see in you and me
 Now I know that we can live together
 The way I want to live free forever
 Uh  uh uh
 Uh  uh uh
 Uh  uh uh
 Uh  uh uh
 Uh  uh uh
 Uh  uh uh
 End on G
 It's also fun to fingerpick the top 3 strings as opposed to strumming the
 entire chord. Would sound nice on a banjo or mandalin, but this works fine:
 
e|-----3-----3-----3-----3------3----2-----2-----2-----2------2-----|
B|---0-----0-----0-----0------0----3-----3-----3-----3------3-------|
G|-0-----0-----0----0------0-----4-----4-----4-----4------4---------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------|
