It Ain't Me Babe

Johnny Cash


Tom: G

G               Am  
Go away from my window 
C             D          G 
Leave at your own chosen speed 
G                   Am 
I'm not the one you want, babe 
    G       D       G 
I'm not the one you need 
 
    G                  Am 
You say you're lookin' for someone 
            G               Am 
Who's never weak but always strong 
      G              Am 
To protect you and defend you 
        G                Am 
Whether you are right or wrong 
    C                          D 
Someone to open each and every door 

             G 
But it ain't me babe 
C       D            G 
No, no, no, it ain't me babe 
         C         D       G 
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe  
 
 
Go lightly from the ledge, babe 
Go lightly on the ground 
I'm not the one you want, babe 
I'll only let you down 
You say you're lookin' for someone 
Who'll promise never to part 
Someone to close his eyes to you 
Someone to close his heart 
Someone to die for you and more 
 
Chorus 
 
You say you're lookin' for someone 
To pick you up each time you fall 
To gather flowers constantly 
And to come each time you call 
And will love you for your life 
And nothin' more 
 
Chorus
