Subject: 'Stop Draggin' My Heart Around (demo sequence)' ——  Tom Petty and the Heartbreak

This is the demo sequence from the Playback set.  I like it better than the
other one that was released with Stevie Nicks.  You can play it with a capo
on the second fret, or without one at all, it all depends on what you think
sounds better.

"Stop Draggin' My Heart Around"  ——  Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
from Playback, written by TP and Mike Campbell, 1981 Gone Gator/Wild Gator

Em                                   G
Baby you came knockin' at my front door
Bm                                  C
Same old line you used to use before
Em                      G
I said, 'Yeah', well what am I s'posed to do?
Bm                              C
I didn't know what I was gettin' into

Em                          C
So you've had a little trouble in town
G                                   Bm     C
Now you're keepin' some demon down
Em                     G
Stop draggin' my, stop draggin' my
Bm                    C       G
Stop draggin' my heart around

It's hard to think about what you've wanted
It's hard to think about what you've lost
This doesn't have to be the big get even
This doesn't have to be anything at all
I know you really wanna tell me good—bye
I know you really wann be your own girl

Am                            Em
Baby, you could never look me in the eyes
G                                    Bm              C
Yeah, you buckle with the weight of the words
Em                     G
Stop draggin' my, stop draggin' my
Bm                    C       G
Stop draggin' my heart around


Theres' people runnin' round loose in the world
Ain't got nothin' better to do
Than make a meal of some bright—eyed kid
You need someone lookin' after you
I know you really wanna tell me good—bye
I know you really wanna be your own girl

Baby, you could never look me in the eyes
Yeah, you buckle with the weight of the words
Stop dragin' my, stop draggin' my
Stop draggin' my heart around
