It Ain't Me, Babe
Bob Dylan / Bob Dylan: Another Side of Bob Dylan (1964)
G | Am | Bm | D | G | G4 | G | |
Go 'way from my | window | leave at your | own chosen | speed. |
G | Am | Bm | D | G | G4 | G | |
I'm not the one you | want, Babe, I'm | not the | one you | need. |
Am | Bm | Am | |
You say you're looking | for someone who's never | weak but always | strong; |
Bm | Am | Bm | Am | |
To pro | tect you and de | fend you whether | you are right or | wrong; |
C | D | |
Some | one to open each and every | door: |
G | C | D | G | |
But it ain't | me, Babe, | No, no, | no, it ain't | me, Babe, |
C | D | G | |
It ain't | me you're | looking | for, Babe. |
Go lightly from the ledge, Babe, go lightly on the ground. |
I'm not the one you want, Babe, I will only let you down. |
You say you're looking for someone who will promise never to part; |
Someone to close his eyes for you, someone to close his heart; |
Someone who will die for you and more: |
But it ain't me, Babe, No, no, no, it ain't me, Babe, |
It ain't me you're looking for, Babe. |
Go melt back in the night, Babe, everything inside is made of stone, |
There's nothing in here moving and anyway I'm not alone. |
You say you're looking for someone Who'll pick you up each time you fall, |
To gather flowers constantly and to come each time you call |
A love of your life and nothing more: |
But it ain't me, Babe, No, no, no, it ain't me, Babe, |
It ain't me you're looking for, Babe. |
