     D

1.      She wants to take it just a little bit further now,

 

    don't let it happen, 'cause if you let her in,

                         G                    D

    she's gonna take it away, makin' you pay.

                            G

    And what are you gonna say?

             D                             G

    You better beware, and don't go there !

 

     D

2.       Don't wanna let her play with what belongs to you,

 

    'cause if you let her play with you know what,

                                G                                         D

    you know what she's gonna do, she's gonna take it from you.

                                G

    That's just what she's gonna do,

        D                                  G

    I don't know where, and don't go there.

 

C

    The voice is sitting on my shoulder and telling me,

C

    the night is warm now, but it might be getting colder,

                G

    better look out friend.

C

    Before you finally decide which way to go,

C                                                                           G

    I hope you stop and review the scenario and how it ends.

          D                             G

    So just take care, and don't go there !

 

F - C - G

               Alright.

F - C - G

                Don't say I didn't warn you my friend.

F - C - G

                If you think it'll last.

 

 

 

 

 

F - C - G

               May be time to start thinking again.

F - C - G

               You're lookin' for love and you think that you'll find it soon

F - C - G

               You're looking to put it away in the bank and save it.

C

    Follows you around like the odor of cheap perfume

C

    you're paying a price when your heart has been misbehavin'.

      Bb    F     C       Bb    F     C

    Don't go there ! Don't go there.

 

     D

3.        You'll want to play it safe and make no promises,

                                                           

    if she understands the rules of the game,

                            G                                  D

    could maybe work out fine, but, baby, take your time,

                           G

    and don't you be unkind.

           D                              G

    But till that's clear, then don't go there.

 

C

    This thing is liable to take some funny turns,

C

    the only thing a real concern to me

                                G

    is having you protect yourself.

C

    It's not like either one of you is flying blind,

                                                                             

    but in the heat of things, you got to apply your mind

          G

    to something else.

           D                         G

    No, life ain't fair, no, don't go there.

 

F - C - G

                 Once you're in, you might not get out.

F - C - G

                 He he he he...

F - C - G

                 You're looking for love in the back of a limousine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

F - C - G

                 You're looking for something that's missing inside to fill you.

C

    If you think you can run on the power of nicotine,

C

    they got a new drug for your mood that'll surely thrill you.

      Bb    F     C       Bb    F     C

    Don't go there ! Don't go there !

4.      This ain't the Bible, and it ain't no moral tale,

 

    if it's a lesson in survival, you can learn it

              G                       D                         G

    if it's not too late, but don't you wait, or hesitate.

            D                                  G

    The lesson's clear, please, don't go there.

 

+ F - C - G (3x)

 

     F     C     G         F     C     G        F    C     G

+ Don't go there ! Don't go there ! Don't go there ...
