For the intro and some parts of verses, just play the root note (not the whole chord)
Intro: D (root)
D (root)
I try to always be a gentleman
I try to always be a better friend
Lately I�ve been feeling half a man
like maybe I should be more who I am
A (root)
Maybe I should fuck something up good
G (root)
Or maybe I should act like someone bad
D (root)
I try to live my life like David does
But something always feels just slightly off
D (root)
I�m young and maybe that�s why days to me
they seem like opportunities to test my reach
Adopt some ugly habits that are bad for me
and treat some others not so equally
A (root)
If I thought I knew me well it�s clear as can be
G (root)
that things are gonna change like a hundred degrees
D (root)
If I thought I knew me well it�s plain to see
that things are gonna change like a hundred degrees
D
Don�t tell my mother
Don�t tell my mother
A
Don�t tell my mother till I pull myself together
G
It�s undercover
I hope forever
D
Don�t tell my mother till I pull myself together
G
I think it�s me
but I just need to see
A
if this real or just something that I need
Bm
Don�t tell my mother
Don�t tell my mother
D
Don�t don't tell my mother till I pull myself together
D (root)
Try to always do what people like
And try to be a man that someone might
look up to in a minute when they�re feeling down
Like maybe I could be somebody that you love
A
Or maybe I�ll just keep thinking all about me
G
until I get the proper opportunity that I need
D
Maybe I�ll just keep thinking all of myself
until I find a way to be in love with somebody else
A
Maybe I�ll just keep thinking all about me
G (STOP)
until I get the proper opportunity that I need
D
Don�t tell my mother
Don�t tell my mother
A
Don�t tell my mother till I pull myself together
G
It�s undercover
I hope forever
D
Don�t don't tell my mother till I pull myself together
G
I think it�s me
but I just need to see
A
if this real or just something that I need
Bm
Don�t tell my mother
Don�t tell my mother
D
Don�t don't tell my mother till I pull myself together
INTRO
CHORUS
