Start Choppin Lyrics

Start Choppin (Dinosaur Jr)
intro:
-XX--9-h-11-9---9---9--XX--9-h-11-9---12--
main riff looks like A D A A-B with the main guitar playing
in the chorus, sometimes D sounds like Bm and vice versa...
There's no going back to there
Some of them can't even react
Didn't say it's not OK
But we are dealing the same way
in the chorus, sometimes D sounds like Bm and vice versa...
There's no going back to there
Some of them can't even react
Didn't say it's not OK
But we are dealing the same way
I ain't telling you a secret ---> CHORUS
I ain't telling you GOODBYE
(main riff)
It's the last thing on my mind
Still you won't let things unwind
Instead it stayed around your head
Can't you hear a word I said (CHORUS)
(main riff)
When you call, it's just not fair
It's the last thing you should share
I can't deal, I'll let you know
Still I wish you'd let it go (CHORUS)
I'm telling you for one last time
It's not just you, the problem's mine cause HER
I waited it out long as I could
If you need it, sure I would, that's FINE
solo: D A E D A E A
There's no going back to there
Some of them can't even react
Didn't say it's not OK
But we are dealing the same way (CHORUS)
Goodbye...Goodbye...Goodbye...
I'm telling you for one last time
It's not just you, the problem's mine cause HER
I waited it out long as I could
If you need it, sure I would, that's FINE
I'm taking away alot of stuff
I'm telling you it's rough or not, you're GONE
I'm sure of all the lyrics except for two parts:
Where it goes: cause HER
you're GONE
