Say You Don’t Want It - One Night Only Tab

Standard Tuning
Capo 3 - (All chords and riffs are relative to the capo)

Note: The verse pattern of |A|Em|G|D| can be changed to |A|Em|G em|D|,


whereby the “em” is (022000) and is played on the 6th quaver beat of
the bar, which follows the vocal line more closely. Also, I find
playing D as (x00232) gives a slightly fuller sound. Feel free to
contact me at christocalicole@googlemail.com for comments or

Verse:

A Em
Talk all the talk with a poet's style
G D
Tongue like electric, eyes like a child
A Em
Buy all your wives and the classic cars
G D
Live like a savior, live like the stars
A Em
Talk all the talk with a model's smile
G D
Tongue like electric, eyes like a child
A Em
Buy all your highs and the classic cars
G D
And die on the front page, just like the stars

Chorus:

A Em
The big screens, the plastic-made dreams
G D
Say you don't want it, say you don't want it
A Em
It's our world, the picture-book girls
G D
Say you don't want it, say you don't want it
A Em
Don't you ask me if it's love my dear
G D
Love don't really mean a thing round here
A Em
The fake scenes the plastic-made dreams
G D
Say you don't want it, say you don't want it

<<Repeat Riff >>

(Verse and Chorus chord pattern is identical throughout)

Pace all the rooms with a jealous style


Tongue like electric, eyes like a child
Paint all your soul with the grand designs
Preach like a savior, your heart on the line
Talk all the talk with a model's smile
Tongue like electric, eyes like a child
Buy all your highs and the classic cars
And die on the front page, just like the stars

The big screens, the plastic-made dreams


Say you don't want it, say you don't want it
It's our world, the picture-book girls
Say you don't want it, say you don't want it
Don't you ask me if it's love my dear
Love don't really mean a thing round here
The fake scenes the plastic-made dreams
Say you don't want it, say you don't want it

(Instrumental: A Em G D x 4) -play chords as before, but mute the top e
