This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't say you love me - Free (Fire and Water)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Ian Ferguson

Tuning:EADGBE

Chords are all played as down-strokes only. The Ta-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ime section

is mainly bass only, with a couple of guitar licks, as far as I can hear, but

I've put chords in for this section.

WORDS

You say you needed someone

But you just needed somewhere to stay

Oh, any other time

Any other time

I'd have told you to be right on your way

You say you needed a friend

But you just needed sympathy

Oh any other time

Any other time

I'd have told you just to let me be

But I was so alone

So alone

Don't say you love me Baby

Don't say you love me

Don't say you love me

'Cos I know it would be just a lie

I lost the warmth in my life

And you came and helped me up when I was down

Oh any other time

Any other time

I'd have let you carry on fooling around

I let you into my home

And I even let you into my heart

Oh but any other time

Any other time

I'd have let you carry on from the very start

But I was so sad and blue

And I just didn't know what to do

Ah don't say you love me baby

Don't say you love me

Don't say you love me

'Cos I know it would be just a lie

Ta-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ime

Has told me what I need to know

Ta-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ime

Has showed me now what love is for

Ta-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ime

Keeps telling me that I've got to go

Yeh I needed someone

But that time's gone

Now baby I'm gonna try and do it

All on my own

So don't say you love me

Don't say you love me

Don't say you love me

'Cos I know it would be just a lie

Don't say you love me Baby

Don't say you love me

Oh don't say that you love me

'Cos I know it would be just a lie

Nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah nah
