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 | |Bm |
