Don't Think Twice by Mike Ness
Don't Think Twice
[Intro]
G Em C D
[Verse]
G Em
Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why
C D
if you don't know by now
G Em
and it ain't no use to sit and wonder why
C D
it doesn't matter anyhow
G
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
C D
Look out your window and I'll be gone
G Em
You're the reason that I'm travellin' on
C D G
Don't think twice, it's all right
And it ain't no use in turnin' on you light
A light I never knowed
and it ain't no use in turnin' on your light
I'm on the dark side of the road
I wish there were something you would do or say
To make me wanna change my mind and stay
We never did much talkin' anyway
but don't think twice, it's all right
And it ain't no use in callin' out my name
like you never done before
and it ain't no use in callin' out my name
I can't hear you anymore
I'm thinkin' and wonderin' all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I'd give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right
[Solo]
I'm goin' down that long lonesome road
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye is too good a word
So I'll just say, fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
I could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
but don't think twice, it's all right
C D G
Yeah, don't think twice, it's all right
C D
Yeah, don't think twice,
C D
don't you ever think twice
C D G C G D G
Yeah, don't think twice, it's all right

Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why
If you don't know by now
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why
It don't matter, anyhow
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
But don't think twice, it's all right
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light
A light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light
I'm on the dark side of the road
Well I wish there was somethin' you could do or say
To make me wanna change my mind and stay
We never did much talkin' anyway
But don't think twice, it's all right
An' it ain't no use in callin' out my name
Like you never did before
An' it ain't no use in callin' out my name
I can't hear you any more
Well I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right
Well I'm goin' down that long, lonesome road
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word
So I'll just say fare thee well
Well I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
I coulda done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right
Yeah don't think twice, it's all right
Yeah don't, think twice
Don't you ever, think twice
Yeah don't, think twice, it's alright

I originally did this so I could add the solo of Mike Ness' version into Johnny Cash's
Ness did this song in the key of G and Cash did it in the key of C. So, if you want it,
did it.

Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why
If you don't know by now
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why
It don't matter, anyhow
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
But don't think twice, it's all right
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light
A light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light
I'm on the dark side of the road
Well I wish there was somethin' you could do or say
To make me wanna change my mind and stay
We never did much talkin' anyway
But don't think twice, it's all right
An' it ain't no use in callin' out my name
Like you never did before
An' it ain't no use in callin' out my name
I can't hear you any more
Well I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told

Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word
So I'll just say fare thee well
Well I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind

You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right
Yeah don't think twice, it's all right
Yeah don't, think twice
Don't you ever, think twice
Yeah don't, think twice, it's alright
