It Aint Me Babe

Johnny Cash


Tom: G

G               Am  
Go away from my window 
G             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 


[Verse 2]
    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  


[Chorus]
              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


[Verse 3]
G                   Am
Go lightly from the ledge babe
   G       D      G 
Go lightly on the ground
G                   Am
I'm not the one you want babe
      G    D       G 
I'll only let you down


[Verse 4]
   G                  Am
You say you're lookin for someone
        G                Am 
Who'll promise never to part
G                  Am
Someone to close his eyes for your
    G                Am 
Someone to close his heart
    C                       D
Someone to die for you and more!!!  


[Chorus]
              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


[Verse 5]
G                    Am        
Go melt back in the night, babe 
   G       D                 G
Everything inside is made of stone
G                      Am              G   
There's nothing in here moving and anyway 
    D    G
I'm not alone

[Verse 6]
    G                 Am
You say you're lookin for someone 
       G                         Am
Who'll pick you up each time you fall 
G                    Am
To gather flowers constantly 
         G                 Am
And to come each time you call
 C                                   D
A love you for your life and nuthin more....


[Chorus]
              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
