I'm not going to tab out the strum pattern or when the chords change. It's easy enough
figure out just listening to it.

I like playing power chords for the chorus

E
My cold, cold, stellar heart says get on your way
E
I ain't to proud to say but thats how I'm made.
D6/9
I'll be that person 'til my dying day
E
I try so awful hard, but I can't change.
From runways to the road, I ramble alone
This thumbnail sized of a heart is black as coal
Your beauty, it still brings me to my knees
Don't waste a tear on me, this is my disease
E
Don't need no slow man
D6/9
Don't need no slow man
E D6/9
I know I'm picking up speed
E
Don't need no slow man
Those preppy boys in blue
They're making fun of us
So we take it to the streets
Cause we want to be first
But we're not here to make your children bleed
We're here to come around with the tumble weed
Don't need no slow man
Don't need no slow man
I know I'm picking up speed
Don't need no slow man
Now guitar, go get her!
Don't take these boots off me when you're thinking I'm dead
I'll still be running from the demon in my head
I'll be that person 'til my dying day
I try so awful hard, but I can't change
Don't need no slow man
Don't need no slow man
I know I'm picking up speed
Don't need no slow man
Don't need no...

I ain't too proud to say, but that's how I'm made
I'll be that person 'til my dyin' day
I try so awful hard, but I can't change
From runways to the road, I ramble alone
This thumbnail size a' heart is black as coal
Your beauty, it still brings me to my knees
Don't waste a tear on me, it's my disease
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I'll blow off in your sleep
Don't leave no smell on me
Those preppy boys in blue, they're makin' fun of us
So we take it to the street 'cause we're an ornery cuss
But we're not here to make your children bleed
We're here to come around with the tumbleweed
Don't leave no smell on me

Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave now, go get her

My cold, cold sailor heart says get on your way
I ain't too proud to say, but that's how I'm made
I'll be that person 'til my dyin' day
I try so awful hard, but I can't change
From runways to the road, I ramble alone
This thumbnail size a' heart is black as coal
Your beauty, it still brings me to my knees
Don't waste a tear on me, it's my disease
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I'll blow off in your sleep
Don't leave no smell on me
Those preppy boys in blue, they're makin' fun of us
So we take it to the street 'cause we're an ornery cuss
But we're not here to make your children bleed
We're here to come around with the tumbleweed
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I'll blow off in your sleep
Don't leave no smell on me
Now guitar, go get her
Don't take these boots off me when you're thinkin' I'm dead
I'll still be runnin' from the demons in my head
I'll be that person 'til my dyin' day
I try so awful hard, but I can't change
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I'll blow off in your sleep
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave now, go get her
