Intro:
A
(i don't need you)
Verse 1:
A
making you food while you're making me cry, shut off the bulb i want firelight
E D
say you hate my face so i feel something
A
drag me back to the wine and dine, we wouldn't sleep 'til a quarter to five
E D
it's scary, how it's all come down to nothing
Pre-chorus:
E
so why are we here?
D
why aren't we leaving?
A E
it's cruel but it's clear
D
we've both given up on believing
Chorus:
A
i don't need you
E
i just love you
G
if you don't like that
A
you don't have to
A
'cause i don't need you
E
it's been lovely
G
but i can read you
D
and you don't love me
A
so i don't need you
Verse 2:
A
make up the bed while you make up a lie, break up at breakfast
E
wanna hit you but i'm holding a knife
D
so i choke it 'til my knuckles are white
A
take a bath and i'll take you back, hour and a half for you to clean up your act
E
you've dropped your gun on the ground, you're just a man in a towel
D
i've got you all figured out
Pre-chorus:
E
so why are we here?
D
if love ain't the reason
E
we're so insincere
D
and we know the hardest part is the leaving
Chorus:
A
i don't need you
E
i just love you
G
if you don't like that
D
you don't have to
A
'cause i don't need you
E
it's been lovely
G
but i can read you
D
and you don't love me
A
so i don't need you
A
*talking interlude*
Outro:
A
go to sleep, and if you wake up to a body that's not mine
E
i guess i wandered off in dreams to find a meaning to this life
D
i left my shoes at home, last minute hope i'd feel something
E
i might just end up skin and bone, at least i won't be walking home tonight
A
i bit the bullet, barely noticed but i broke all my front teeth
E
i'll never smile again, and i'll pretend that i'm still 17
D
now i'm a part of something smaller than i ever thought i'd be
E
and i'm pretty sure i love you
A
but i'm pretty sure that love's not all i need
