Start Choppin

• A

intro: 
 
 
main riff looks like A D A A|-B with the main guitar playing 
 
 
in the chorus, sometimes D sounds like Bm and vice versa... 
 
 
A                          D 
There's no going back to there 
              A            D 
Some of them can't even react 
        A            D 
Didn't say it's not OK 
           A                D 
But we are dealing the same way 
 
 
in the chorus, sometimes D sounds like Bm and vice versa... 
 
 
A                          D 
There's no going back to there 
              A            D 
Some of them can't even react 
        A            D 
Didn't say it's not OK 
           A                D 
But we are dealing the same way 
 
          D 
            Bm                A D A A B (+ 9) 
I ain't telling you GOODBYE 
 
(main riff) 
It's the last thing on my mind 
 
Still you won't let things unwind 
 
Instead it stayed around your head 
 
Can't you hear a word I said  (CHORUS) 
 
(main riff) 
When you call, it's just not fair 
 
It's the last thing you should share 
 
I can't deal, I'll let you know 
 
Still I wish you'd let it go (CHORUS) 
 
      D 
I'm telling you for one last time 
A                                            E 
It's not just you, the problem's mine cause HER 
   D 
I waited it out long as I could 
A                                     E 
If you need it, sure I would, that's FINE 
 
solo: D A E D A E A 
 
A                          D 
There's no going back to there 
              A            D 
Some of them can't even react 
        A            D 
Didn't say it's not OK 
           A                D 
But we are dealing the same way (CHORUS) 
 
Goodbye...Goodbye...Goodbye... 
 
      D 
I'm telling you for one last time 
A                                            E 
It's not just you, the problem's mine cause HER 
   D 
I waited it out long as I could 
A                                     E 
If you need it, sure I would, that's FINE 
 
      D 
I'm taking away alot of stuff 
     A                                     E 
I'm telling you it's rough or not, you're GONE 
 
D ... 
 
 
 
I'm sure of all the lyrics except for two parts: 
        Where it goes:  cause HER 
                        you're GONE
