Don't Sell Me Short

G Eb Bb F Fsus F
we don't need any more mountains
Eb
because the trail builders
Bb F C F
failed to give us passage there
Eb Bb F
so we can't reach the sky
G Eb Bb F Fsus F
we don't need any more failure
Eb
there is human tragedy
Bb F C F
that's written everywhere
Eb Bb F
and we are all too young to die
G F Bb Eb
like a mystery that's here to stay
G F Bb Eb
some people never go away
D D7
cuz they've got something to say
G Eb
don't sell me short!
Bb F
you've been wrong too long
G
don't brush me off
Eb Bb F
just because I don't belong
G Eb
like it or not I'm all you've got,
Bb Eb F
dispose me when I'm shot
G Eb
just don't sell me short,
Bb F
I might not be who you thought
G Bb Eb G Bb F

G Eb Bb F Fsus F
we don't need any more fables
Eb Bb
because the writers have passed
F C F
and left us lessonless
Eb Bb F
and we must find our own way
G Eb Bb F Fsus F
we don't need any more privilege
Eb Bb
there is vivid desperation
F C F
that is powerless
Eb Bb F
that no surplus can repay
G F Bb Eb
like the fix of rapture in a trance
G F Bb Eb
oh, fates are sealed by circumstance
D D7
so you've got to take a chance

G Eb
don't sell me short!
Bb F
you've been wrong too long
G Eb
don't brush me off
Bb F
just because I don't belong
G Eb
pass me on by, ignore my cry,
Bb Eb F
forget me when I die
G Eb
just don't sell me short,
Bb F
not while I'm still alive

G Bb Eb G Bb F (2X)

G Bb Eb G Bb F
everybody's talking about heaven on earth,
G Bb Eb G Bb F
I'm still trying to figure out just what I'm worth
G Bb Eb G Bb F
I'm full of emotion and stuff you can't contain
G Bb Eb G Bb F Eb F
and you just want to flush me down the drain
G Eb Bb F (2x)
but you can't make me go away
