You Can’t Do That --- Lennon/McCartney

I really don't like this song. Raging jealousy isn't one of my favourite subjects. But My guitar teacher thought it would be a good song to learn.

I got [E]something to say that might cause you pain,
If I catch you talking to that boy a-[E7]gain,
I’m gonna [A7]let you down, and leave you [E]flat.
Because I [B7]told you befo-[A]ore. You can’t do [E]that.

Well, it’s the [E]second time I caught you talking to him.
Do I have to tell you one more time, I think it’s a [E7]sin?
I think I’ll [A7]let you down, and leave you [E]flat.
Because I [B7]told you befo-[A]ore. You can’t do [E]that.

Everybody’s [G#7]gree-[C#m]een,
‘Cause [F#7]I’m the one who [B7]won your [E]love.
But if they’d [G#7]see-[C#m]een,
You [F#7]talking that way, they’d [B7]laugh in my face.

So [E]please listen to me if you wanna stay mine,
I can’t help my feelings, I go out of my [E7]mind.
I’m gonna [A7]let you down, and leave you [E]flat.
Because I [B7]told you befo-[A]ore. You can’t do [E]that.
