Biography:
Lydia Loveless (born September 4, 1990; as Lydia Ankrom) is an American alternative country singer-songwriter from Columbus, Ohio.
Blessed with a commanding, blast-it-to-the-back-of-the room voice, Loveless was raised on a family farm in Coshocton, Ohio, US—a small weird town with nothing to do but make music. With a dad who owned a country music bar, Loveless often woke up with a house full of touring musicians scattered on couches and floors.

so watch it for the exact chord timings and strum patterns, especially for the
extra Bm that she throws in during the 3rd verse.
Also, I'm not sure about some of the lyrics, so if someone wants to let me know
about any mistakes, let me know.
Very easy song to play, all open chords, regular tuning! This is a song about
addiction and heartache so be sure to sing your heart out!
D: 000232
Dsus4: 000233
A: 002220
G: 32003
Em: 022000
Bm: 224432
In the main riff, you strum a single D right before the A, which is just a matter
of lifting your pinkie. Just listen to the song and you'll hear it.
Intro
D Dsus4 A G x2
Verse 1
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
I turn everything off just to turn it back on
G
Thought I’m on a cloud but I’m usually wrong
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Because the sound I make is a terrible song
A G D Dsus4 A G D Dsus4 A G
Til somebody’s died I do nothing at all
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
And I can lay it ??? but I can't seem to leave
G
my house without shitting myself instantly
D Dsus4 D Dsus4
can't go anywhere without being three sheets
A G
i guess i'll always be this goddammed unhappy
Chorus:
Em G
someday i'll learn what it's like to say no
Em G
someday i'll learn what it's like to say no
D Dsus4 D A G
well i'm just ready for what it feels like to say no
D Dsus4 A G x 2
Verse 2
and i know i've done nothing to earn your respect
i know better than your friend
just how much of a mess i've made out of this
honey i still don't care what she says
to say i'm satisfied would somehow would imply
that i was deserving of a better life
but i've already given up trying to deny
so i'm wondering when I
Chorus
someday i'll learn what it's like to say no
someday i'll learn what it's like to say no
because you've never had to learn how just to say no
D Dsus4 A G x 2
Bridge:
Em G
sometimes i think i should go for a walk
Em G
but somehow i do nothing at all
D Dsus4 A G D Dsus4 A G
why does it take so much out of me to be this week
Em G
Convinced that someone is looking over my shoulder
Em G
telling me that this is the life that you chose
D Dsus4 D A G D Dsus4 D A G
why does it take so much work to keep you company
D Dsus4 D A G D Dsus4 D A G
so i got to treat my body like an indestructible machine
Verse3:
D Dsus4 D
so raise a toast to the people who think
G Bm A
that it's just as easy as turning down a couple of drinks
D Dsus4 D
to the ones who still think that walking's a sin
Bm A
because they just don't know how hard it is
Chorus
they don't know what it's like to say no
man they don't what it's like to say no
they won't ever have to learn just how to say no
now i'm gonna learn what it's like to say know
girl you're gonna learn what it's like how to say no
even if you don't care much for what it feels like to say no
no no no no
