(Capo on 3)

(Intro.)
(Am) If they wanna talk
You know what we tell 'em down in the (Am)South / / / (Dm) / /

(Verse)
Bless your (Am)heart
If you're talkin' 'bout me
Keep on (C)talkin' honey, talk (Dm) is cheap
I ain't losin' (Am)sleep over what you say

(Chorus)
You can drag my (C)name, but you can't (Dm)drag me down
You can (NC)say what you want, I know who I am
Bless your (C)heart, (Dm) but I don't give a damn
 (Am) / / / (Am) / / / (Am) / / / (Am) / / /

(Verse)
Heard my (Am)name when I walked in the room
All of a (Am)sudden they changed their tune
Everybody (C)lookin' down at their shoes
Guess they didn't (Dm)know I could hear 'em too
They can twist it (Am)up any way they want
Turn a little (C)truth into somethin' it's not
I ain't wastin' (C)tears tryin' to prove they're wrong
Hell, they've been (Dm)talkin' all along

(Chorus)
Bless your (Am)heart
If you're talkin' 'bout me (Am)
Keep on (C)talkin' honey, talk (Dm) is cheap
I ain't losin' (Am)sleep over what you say
You can drag my (C)name
But you can't (Dm)drag me down
You can (Am)say what you want
I know who I am
Bless your (C)heart
(Dm) But I don't give a damn

(Instrumental)
|(Am) / / / |(Am) / / / |(C) / / / |(Dm) / / / |

(Verse)
(Am)Church pew conversations talkin' who I'm with or was
Ain't folks (C)singin' amazing grace, then passin' (Dm)judgment just because
They can pass my (Am)name from hand to hand, tell their stories while they can
I've survived (C)things they never saw, words ain't (Dm)much when you've seen it all

(Chorus)
Bless your (Am)heart
If you're talkin' 'bout me (Am)
Keep on (C)talkin' honey, talk (Dm) is cheap
I ain't losin' (Am)sleep over what you say
You can drag my (C)name
But you can't (Dm)drag me down
You can (Am)say what you want
I know who I am
Bless your (C)heart
(Dm) But I don't give a damn
