Leave Me Alone performed by The Veronicas
Intro: (Figure out strumming)
[Esus] [Bm] [A] [G]
The intro and the verses are played like this, with E sus and Bm switching. It's best to
you index finger to flatten the
2 nd fret of the A, D and G string to play E sus and hammer on using your forth and
finger to create the Bm sound
Verse 1:
[Esus] [Bm] [A] [Em]
I'm getting tired of you pushing me round
Dragging me down, Making a sound because you wanna
I guess that's why I like messing with you
Putting you through, A lesson or two, because I'm gonna
[G]Before I go my own way, I [F#m]just gotta say
CHORUS:
Leave me alone[Bm]
Get out of my face[G]
I'm tired in love[D]
Feeling s[A]o misplaced
Time for you to go[Bm]
You still know I'm better o[G]ff on my own, oh[Em][A]
Leave me alone[Bm]
This isn't gonna work[G]
Don't call me on the phone[D]
Because I'm all out of words[A]
I'll face the unknown[Bm]
Thinking ab[G]out all the ways that I've grow[Em]n
O[A]h, Leave Me Alone[G]
Leave me alone[Bm]
Leave me alone[A]
Small riff
G|--14--|
Slide up to the 14 fret and then slide down
Verse 2
[Esus] [Bm] [A] [Em]
There was the time I thought you were the one
Having some fun
Getting it done
What an illusion
'Cause you were trying to take control of me
That couldn't be, I need to be free of this confusion
[G]Don't give me a guilt trip, c[F#m]ause I'm so over it
CHORUS:
Leave me alone[Bm]
Get out of my face[G]
I'm tired in love[D]
Feeling s[A]o misplaced
Time for you to go[Bm]
You still know I'm better o[G]ff on my own, oh[Em][A]
Leave me alone[Bm]
This isn't gonna work[G]
Don't call me on the phone[D]
Because I'm all out of words[A]
I'll face the unknown[Bm]
Thinking ab[G]out all the ways that I've grow[Em]n
O[A]h, Leave Me Alone[G]
Leave me alone[Bm]
Leave me alone[A]
