(intro)
Dm F Bb F
Dm F Bb F

Dm                   F
I know she said it's alright
Bb                              F
But you can make it up next time
Dm                       F
I know she knows it's not right
Bb                      F
There ain't no use in lying
Dm                      F
Maybe she thinks I know something
Bb              F
Maybe maybe she thinks its fine
Dm              F
Maybe she knows something I don't
B                     C
I'm so, I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying

(chorus)
F                   C
It seems to me that maybe
Dm                    A
It pretty much always means no
Bb                   C                  F  C
So don't tell me you might just let it go
F                     C
And often times we're lazy
Dm                      A
It seems to stand in my way
Bb                     C
Cause no one no not no one
F               C
Likes to be let down

(this verse is just single strums of each chord)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jack_johnson/flake_crd_ver_6.html ]
Dm                   F
I know she loves the sunrise
Bb                         F
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
Dm                                  F
And I know that when she said she's gonna try
Bb                                F
Well it might not work because of other ties and
Dm                          F
I know she usually has some other ties
Bb                                F
And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah, I wouldn't want to break 'em
Dm                   F
Maybe she'll help me to untie this but
Bb               C
Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie to you

(you know this bit already..)
(chorus x1.5)

It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go

(while Ben Solo's it's just F barre chords on the upbeat only..)

(then the whole next verse is all just chords on the up-beats and a
couple of percussive strums on the down..)

F                                                Bb
The harder that you try baby, the further you'll fall
F                               C
Even with all your money in the whole wide world
F
Please please please don't pass me
Bb
Please please please don't pass me
F               C                 F
Please please please don't pass me by

same chord procession on next set

Everything you know about me now baby you gonna have to change
You goin to call it by a brand new name
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me down

Just like your tree down by the water baby I shall not move
Even after all your silly things you do-oo
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me down

I can't believe nobody has posted the full version of this song...it's so easy.
