Here is the original tab that I found use it only for the rest of the lyrics the chords and changes are wrong :
Flake
VERSE:
DM Fm B Fm
I know she said it's all right You can make it up next time
DM Fm B Fm
I know she knows its not right There ain't no use in lying
DM Fm B Fm
Maybe she thinks I know something maybe, maybe she thinks it's fine
DM Fm B C
Maybe she knows something I don't I'm so, And I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying
CHORUS:
Fm C DM A
It seems to me that maybe It pretty much always means no
B C Fm C
So don't tell me you might just let it go
Fm C DM A
And often times we're lazy, it seems to stand in my way
B C Fm C
Cause no one, no not no one likes to be let down
VERSE:
DM Fm B Fm
I know she loves the sunrise No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes and
DM Fm B
I know that when she said she's gonna try Well it might not work because of
Fm DM Fm
other ties and I know she usually has some other ties and
B Fm
I wouldn't want to break um, I wouldn't want to break um
DM Fm B C
Maybe she'll help me to untie this, but Until then I'm gonna have to lie too
CHORUS:
Fm C DM A
It seems to me that maybe It pretty much always means no
B C Fm C
So don't tell me you might just let it go
Fm C DM A
And often times we're lazy, it seems to stand in my way
B C Fm C
Cause no one, no not no one likes to be let down
Fm C DM A
It seems to me that maybe It pretty much always means no
B C Fm C
So don't tell me you might just let it go
