Intro: Don't you dare say that
You'll braid my hair, babe
If you don't really care
[Fm]You wanted me sadder
[Eb]You wanted me sadder
[Bb]Fishtail, what's the matter? [Ab]Ah-ah-ah
[Fm]Skipping rope in the bayou, bayou
[Ab]Slip softly in terrain
[Bb]Not that smart, but I've got [Ab]things to say
[Fm]Palm trees in black and white
[Eb]I like to watch them sway
[Bb]You're so funny
I wish [Ab]I could skinny dip inside your mind
[Fm]Lately, I've been [Eb]
thinking about how things used to [Bb]be
Swinging in a [Ab]nightgown underneath the old oak [Fm]tree
Almost Victo[Eb]rian with you, you can talk to [Bb]me
But lately I can [Ab]see
You wanted me sadder [Fm](baby)
[Eb]You wanted me sadder
Can't you [Bb]see? [Ab]
For [Fm]me, you are the one and
if I'm [Eb]not the one for you
Don't you [Bb]say it [Ab]
[Fm]I was on the stairs, Ella Fitzgerald in the [Eb]air
Feeling hella rare
Baby, if you [Bb]care
Baby, don't you dare say
[Ab]You'll braid my hair, babe
[Fm]Don't you dare say [Eb]that you'll braid my hair, babe
If [Bb]you don't really care
[Ab]You wanted me sadder
[Fm]Dancing there in the hot, hot Sun
[Eb]I know that we've got problems
[Bb]I plan to address them [Ab]another day
[Fm]Palm trees in black and white
[Eb]I see in technicolor
[Bb]Maybe I'll take my glasses [Ab]off
So I stop painting red flags
[Fm]Green
Lately, I've been [Eb]sunning in the LA river [Bb]bed
Wearing nothing [Ab]but the summer bruises on my [Fm]knees
I like how you talk, [Eb]how
you speak, how you look at [Bb]me
But lately I can [Ab]see
You wanted me sadder [Fm](baby)
[Eb]You wanted me sadder
You wanted me sadder
Can't you [Bb]see? [Ab]
For [Fm]me, you are the one and
if I'm [Eb]not the one for you
Don't you [Bb]say it [Ab]
[Fm]I was on the stairs, Ella Fitzgerald in the [Eb]air
Feeling hella rare
Baby, if you [Bb]care
Baby, don't you dare say
[Ab]You'll braid my hair, babe
[Fm]Baby, if you care, then
(Don't you dare say that
You'll braid my hair, see)
[Eb]Baby, don't you dare say that [Bb]you really care [Ab]
[Eb]Don't you dare say [Eb]that you'll braid my hair
When [Bb]you get home tonight if [Ab]you don't really care
[Fm]Yeah, don't you dare say [Eb]that
You'll braid my hair, babe
If [Bb]you don't really care,
see, [Ab]don't you braid my hair
If you're not [Fm]coming home to [Eb]me, [Bb]mmm
[Ab]You want someone sadder
[Fm]Skipping rope in the bayou, bayou
[Ab]Slip softly in terrain
[Bb]Not that smart, [Ab]but I've got things to say
