Album version GCGG D' C Go 'way from my window D' G Leave at your own chosen speed D' C I'm not the one you want, babe D' G I'm not the one you need Bm7' Am7 You say you're lookin' for someone Bm7' Am7 Who's never weak but always strong Bm7' Am To protect you an' defend you Bm7' 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 will only let your down You say you're lookin' 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 an' more But it ain't me, babe No, no, no, it ain't me babe It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe. Go melt back in the night Everything inside is made of stone There's nothing in here moving An' 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 An' to come each time you call A lover for you life an' nothing more But it ain't me, babe No, no, no, it ain't me, babe It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.
