Do what you do.  Don't bring me down.

          G                         D7

I went to the doctor.  He's just another clown.

 

Don't stand alone.  You might turn to stone.

I wish there was a pill for that.  You're on your own.

 

CHORUS:

D7sus4      D7         Bb        C

Can't you see what it's doin' to me?

Bb          C         G     D

All I wanna be is by your side.

D7sus4    D7       Bb       C

I don't care if they cut my hair.

Bb          C         G     D    Bb          C         G     D

All I wanna be is by your side.  All I wanna be is by your side.

D7sus4 D     Bb   C  G  D

Yeah!  By your side...

 

Shake me down.  You wanna put on the ground.

There's money in my pocket.  I won't make a sound.

Well, you can run me over or pick a four-leaf clover.

Now, they cut the lights down.  This record's going slower.
