PLEASE DON’T TELL ME ANY MORE
capo @ 3 in G
James Michael Taylor 09 26/7 14
VERSE ONE - You said you knew the story would upset me G
That you’d resolved to kept it to yourself G D
You said you knew how hard it would hit me D
You said that you had told nobody else D G
VERSE TWO - I see now that you’ve gone back to drinking G
You slur your words and run your pretty mouth G7 C
Contrary to what you may be thinking C G
I’d be over all of this if I knew how D G
CHORUS ONE - You had to go and tell me G C
It’s so like you to spill the beans C G
What happened to your tender mercies G D
You know exactly what I mean (it tortures me) D G
You just had to go and tell me
That you saw them at the store
picking out a sack of oranges
Please don’t tell me any more
VERSE THREE - Instrumental
VERSE FOUR - (And now you) say you saw them later at the Stables
They sang a duet and he sang off key
You say it looks like she has robbed a cradle
And somehow you think that should comfort me
BRIDGE - I tremble now from too much information Em C
Try to hold myself together you can see Em C
The less I know the more the memories wither B C
Like leaves in Autumn falling from the trees G D
CHORUS TWO - You had to go and tell me
You couldn’t let it be
As it was it always shall be
You’re still so good at hurting me
I say that I no longer suffer
I swept that heartache out the door
But I choke up and I smother
Please don’t tell me any more
If I no longer suffer
What are all these sad songs for
And why do I choke up and smother
Please don’t tell me any more

Remember that song, PLEASE DON'T TELL ME ANY MORE? You wrote. "What a hateful, miserable person that big mouth is." Well, Big Mouth, yes, and oblivious, but he's one among us and non of us think of him as hateful. People say things in a flash, not having a clue to how it's going to land.
Cathy Maxwell Jesus, what an asshole. Actually, you are the only one NOT an asshole in that coversation, including the subjects of said conversation!
Robert White I sang along with this James Michael Taylor! Every Verse was Heart Felt! Easy Song and Words to Follow! Thank You for Sharing! Be Safe! From One Musician to Another! 🤗
Ashley VanArsdel I know the feeling. It's almost like people think it's funny or something. I'm sorry.
Lane Beauvais Whether what he said was true or not, it was cruel, insensitive slap and a prime example of "truth" best left unspoken. And then there is the great song that you wish you hadn't had to write.
Yup a classic! Great job James
JQ- What a great song! Classic JMT! He paints masterpieces in my mind with words! "The less I know the more the memories wither... Like leaves in Autumn falling from the trees." What a great line!
