Don't Damn Me chords by Guns N' Roses

Intro: (x2)
Em G Em G D

Chorus 1:
 Em         G
Don't damn me when I speak a piece of mind
    Em              G     D
'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside
      Em
'Cause I've been where I have been
      G
And I've seen what I have seen
     Em           G         D Em
I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me

Verse 1:
Em       G       D
Be it a song or a casual conversation
 Em          G     D
To hold my tongue speaks of quiet reservations
   Em        G           D
Your words, once heard, they can place you in a faction
Em             G       D
My words may disturb, but at least there's a reaction

Instrumental:
Em D Em G D Em D Em G D

Bridge:
Em
Sometimes I wanna kill
G         D
Sometimes I wanna die
      Em
Sometimes I wanna destroy
   G      D
Sometimes I wanna cry
   Em
Sometimes I could get even
   G         D
Sometimes I could give up
  Em
Sometimes I could give
   G          D
Sometimes I never give a fuck

Pre-Chorus:
    C
It's only for a while
 G       C
I hope you understand
 D
I never wanted this to happen
        D
Didn't want to be a man
   C
So I hid inside my world
  G     C
I took what I could find
      D
I cried when I was lonely
            B
I fell down when I was blind

Chorus 1:
   Em             G
Don't damn me when I speak a piece of mind
    Em              G     D
'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside
      Em
'Cause I've been where I have been
  D           G
And I've seen what I have seen
     Em              G       D Em
I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me

Verse 2:
Em       G       D
How can I ever satisfy you?
Em       G       D
And how can I ever make you see that
Em       G       D
Deep inside, we're all somebody
Em       G       D
And it don't matter who you wanna be?

Pre-Chorus:
      C
But now I gotta smile
       C
I hope you comprehend
      D
For, this man can say it happened
      D
'Cause this child has been condemned
  G   C
So I stepped into your world
 G   C
I kicked you in the mind
     D                B
And I'm the only witness to the nature of my crime

Chorus 2:
Em
But look at what we've done
    D      G
To the innocent and young
Em
Whoa, listen to who's talking
    G         D
'Cause we're not the only ones
Em
The trash collected by the eyes
D          G
And dumped into the brain
    Em
Said, it tears into our conscious thoughts
G           D
You tell me, who's to blame?

Bridge:
C        G       D
I know you don't wanna hear me cryin'
C        G       D
And I know you don't wanna hear me deny
C        G         D
That your satisfaction lies in your illusion
C        G          D
But your delusions are yours, and not mine
C        G           D
We take for granted we know the whole story
      C             G
We judge a book by its cover and read what we want
D           Em D Em G D Em D Em G D
Between selected lines

Chorus 3:
Em           G
Don't hail me and don't idolize the ink
    Em
Or I've failed in my intentions
G        D
Can you find the missing link?
Em            G
Your only validation is living your own life
Em           G        D
Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time

Verse 3:
Em       G       D
So I send this song to the offended
Em       G       D
I said what I meant and I've never pretended
Em       G       D
As so many others do, intending just to please
  Em
If I damned your point of view
   G         D
Could you turn the other cheek?

Chorus 1:
   Em             G
Don't damn me when I speak a piece of mind
    Em              G     D
'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside
      Em
'Cause I've been where I have been
        G
And I've seen what I have seen
     Em           G         D Em
I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me
Em      G    Em      G
Don't damn me ,I said, don't damn me
   Em              G
