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

* = Em Em/C Em6

Em Em/C Em6 Em/C

Everybody has been burned before

Em G/C D E Esus

Everybody knows the pain

G A9 G A9

Anyone in this place can tell you to your face

Cmaj 7 B7 Em *

Why you shouldn't try to love someone

Em Em/C Em6 Em/C Em G/C D E Esus

Everybody knows it never works everybody knows and me

G A9 G A9 Cmaj 7

I know that door that shuts just before you get

B7 Em *

To the dreams you see

SOLO

Em Em/C Em6 Em/C

I know all too well how to turn how to run

Em G/C D E Esus

How to hide behind a bitter wall of blue

G A9 G A9

But you die inside if you choose to hide

Cmaj 7 B7 Em Em *

So I guess instead I'll love you

From the "Younger Than Yesterday" LP Columbia Records 1967
