Ed Sheeran – The Man

  4A   4nBm|-     4F#m   |G    4A   4nBm|-     4F#m   |G    4A   4nBm   |

                 |Bm                                              4F#m  |
Now I don't wanna hate you, just wish you'd never gone for the man
|G                                             4A           |
 And waited two weeks at least, before you let him take you
 |Bm                                             4F#m                |
I stayed true, I kind of knew you liked the dude from private school
    |G                                               4A          |
He's waiting for the time to move, I knew he had his eyes on you

|Bm                                                    4F#m            |
 He's not the right guy for you, don’t hate me cause I write the truth
  |G                                          4A           |
No I would never lie to you, but it was never fine to lose
|Bm                                        4F#m         |
 you, and what a way to find out, it never came from my
|G                                                      4A            |
 mouth, you never changed your mind, but you were just afraid to mind

|Bm                                        4F#m              |
 out, but fuck it, I won't be changing the subject I love it
|G                                               4A   |
 I'll make your little secret public it's nothing
           |Bm                                               4F#m          |
I'm just disgusted with the skeletons you sleep with in your closet to get
|G                                        4A   |
 back at me, trapped and I'm lacking sleep

              |Bm                               4F#m     |
Fact is you're mad at me because I backtrack so casually
      |G                                              4A                  |
You're practically my family, if we married then I'll guess you'd have to
|Bm                                                4F#m   |
 be, but tragically our love just lost the will to live
           |G                                      4A   |
But would I kill to give it one more shot, I think not

       |Bm             4F#m    |G              4A      |Bm           4F#m  |G     4A      |
I don't love you baby, I don't need you baby, I don’t want you no, any-  more, I don’t
|Bm             4F#m    |G              4A            |Bm           4F#m  |G                4A      |
 love you baby, I don't need you baby, I don’t wanna love you no, any-  more, recently I tend to

    |Bm                                    4F#m              |
zone out, up in my headphones to Holocene, you promised your
|G                                          4A             |
 body but I'm away so much, I stay more celibate than in a
|Bm                                         4F#m  |
 monastery, I’m not cut out for life on the road
       |G                                              4A             |
Cause I didn't know I'd miss you this much, And at the time we'd just

|Bm                                          4F#m     |
 go, so sue me, I guess I'm not the man that you need
    |G                                             4A     |
Ever since you went to uni, I’ve been sofa surfing with a
   |Bm                                                 4F#m  |
rucksack, full of less cash and I guess that could get bad
        |G                                                   4A   |
But when I broke the industry, that’s when I broke your heart

        |Bm                                                4F#m      |
I was supposed to chart and celebrate, but good things are over fast
 |G                                                   4A               |
I know it's hard to deal with and see this, I tend to turn you off and
|Bm                                         4F#m           |
 switch on my professional features, then I turn the music
|G                                           4A       |
 off, and all I'm left with is to pick up my personal

|Bm                                      4F#m       |
 pieces, Jesus, I never really want to believe this
     |G                                           4A                 |
Got advice from my dad and he, told me that family  is all I'll ever
|Bm                                    4F#m  |
 have and need, I guess I'm unaware of it
|G                                                   4A            |
 Success is nothing if you have no one there left to share it with

       |Bm             4F#m    |G              4A      |Bm           4F#m   |G     4A      |
I don't love you baby, I don't need you baby, I don’t want you no, any-   more, I don’t
|Bm             4F#m    |G              4A      |
 love you baby, I don't need you baby, I don’t
      |Bm           4F#m   |G               4A       |
 wanna love you no, any-   more, and since you left

    |Bm                                             4F#m   |
I’ve given up my days off, it’s what I need to stay strong
      |G                                 4A   |
I know you have a day job but mine is 24/7
 |Bm                                              4F#m  |
I feel like writing a book, I guess I lied in the hook
              |G                                       4A    |
'Cause I still love you and I need you by my side if I could

            |Bm                            4F#m  |
The irony is if my career and music didn't exist
      |G                                             4A   |
In six years, yeah, you'd probably be my wife with a kid
   |Bm                                           4F#m  |
I'm frightened to think if I depend on cider and drink
   |G                                          4A   |
And lighting a spliff I fall into a spiral and it's

    |Bm                                               4F#m  |
Just hiding my misguiding thoughts that I'm trying to kill
          |G                                        4A              |
And I'd be writing my will before I'm twenty seven, I'll die from a
|Bm                                          4F#m   |
 thrill, go down in history as just a wasted talent
     |G                                            4A      |
Can I face the challenge, or did I make a mistake erasing?

|Bm                                        4F#m        |
   It's only therapy, my thoughts just get ahead of me
|G                                                4A          |
 Eventually I'll be fine I know that it was never meant to be
|Bm                                     4F#m         |
   Either way I guess I'm not prepared, but I'll say
|G                                              4A           |
 this, these things happen for a reason and you can't change

|Bm                                       4F#m     |
 shit, take my apology, I'm sorry for the honesty
     |G                             4A      |
But I had to get this off my chest, I don’t
|Bm             4F#m    |G              4A      |Bm           4F#m   |G     4A      |
 love you baby, I don't need you baby, I don’t want you no, any-   more, I don’t
|Bm             4F#m    |G              4A            |Bm           4F#m   |G     4A   4nBm   |
 love you baby, I don't need you baby, I don’t wanna love you no, any-   more

|Bm     4F#m   |G    4A   4nBm|-     4F#m   |G    4A   4nBm   |
|Bm     4F#m   |G    4A   4nBm|-     4F#m   |G    4A   4nBm   |
|Bm     4F#m   |G    4A   4nBm|-     4F#m   |G    4A   4nBm   |
