Guns N' Roses - Don't Damn Me

Intro:(F#m E A F#m A E)2x

F#m
Don't damn me
E                    A
When I speak a piece of my mind
F#m
'Cause silence isn't golden
A                    E
When I'm holding it inside
F#m
'Cause I've been where I have been
E                    A
And I've seen what I have seen
F#m
I put the pen to the paper
A                          E        F#m
'Cause it's all a part of me

F#m                    A                    E
Be it a song or a casual conversation
F#m
To hold my tongue speaks
A              E
Of quiet reservations
F#m
Your words once heard
A                          E
They can place you in a faction
F#m
My words may disturb
A                    E        (F#m E A F#m A E)2x
But at least there's reaction

F#m
Sometimes I wanna kill
A                    E
Sometimes I wanna die
F#m
Sometimes I wanna destroy
A              E
Sometimes I wanna cry
F#m
Sometimes I could get even
A                    E
Sometimes I could give up
F#m
Sometimes I could give
A                    E
Sometimes I never give a fuck

F#m       A        D
It's only for a while
A        D
I hope you undersdtand
B        E
I never wanted this to happen
B        E
Didn't want to be a man

A        D
So I hid inside my world
A        D
I took what I could find
B        E
I cried when I was lonely
C#
I feel down when I was blind

F#m                    E
But don't damn me when I speak
A
A piece of my mind
F#m
'Cause silence isn't golden
A                    E
When I'm holding it inside
F#m
'Cause I've been where I have been
E                          A
And I've seen what I have seen
F#m
I put the pen to the paper
A                    E        F#m
'Cause it's all a part of me

F#m              A        E
How can I ever satisfy you
F#m              A              E
And how can I ever make you see
F#m                    A        E
That deep inside we're all somebody
F#m                          A        E
And it don't matter who you wanna be
A        D              A        D
But now I gotta smile I hope you comprehend
B        E
For this man can stay it happened
B              E
'Cause this child has been condemned
A        D
So I stepped into your world
A        D
I kicked you in the mind
B        E
And I'm the only witness
E              C#m
To the nature of my crime

F#m
But look at what we've done
E              A
To the innocent and young
F#m
Whoa listen to who's talkin'
A                          E
'Cause we're not the only ones
F#m
The trash collected by the eyes
E                          A
And dumped into the brain
F#m
Said it tears into our consciuos thoughts
A                                E
You tell me who's to blame

D                          A              E
I know you don't wanna hear me cryin'
D                          A              E
And I know you don't wanna hear me deny
D              A                                E
That your satisfaction lies in your illusions
D              A                          E
But your delusions are yours and not mine
D              A                          E
We take for granted we know the whole story
D
We judge a book by it's cover
A
And read what we want
E                    (F#m E A F#m A E)2x
Between selected lines

F#m
Don't hail me
E
And don't idolize the ink
A              F#m
Or I've failed in my attentions
A                    E
Can you find the missin' link
F#m              E                          A
Your only validation is in living your own life
F#m                    A                          E
Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time
F#m              A              E
So I send this song to the offended
F#m                                A        E
I said what I meant and I've never pretended
F#m                    A                          E
As so many others do intending just to please
F#m
If I damned your point of view
A                    E        (F#m E A F#m A E)2x        (D A F#m)3x
Could you turn the other cheek        D E C# E C# F#m

F#m
Don't damn me
E                    A
When I speak a piece of my mind
F#m
'Cause silence it's not golden
A                    E
When I'm holding it inside
F#m
I've been where I have been
E                    A
And I've seen what I have seen
F#m
Put the pen to the paper
A                    E
'Cause it's all a part of me
F#m        E
Don't damn me
A        F#m        A
I said don't damn me
E        F#m        E
I said don't hail me
A        F#m        A E F#m E C# F#m C# D# E B A E
Don't damn me
F#m
