Chords with lyrics
We Don't Need No Love Songs
Fitz and the Tantrums
This is a great song. I tabbed out all the chords that are used.
Some of the names look scary but they aren't too difficult to learn.
Notice the alternate shape for the Ebmaj7. That shape sounds way better
than the more orthodox shapes for maj7 chords you may be familiar with.
The ending may not be completely accurate if you're trying to sound exactly
like the recording but it gets the job done. Enjoy!

We don't need no love song
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7 BbMaj9Bbmaj9
To tell the world
G minorGm
How hopeless we feel
DmDm D7D7
When it's dead and gone
G minorGm
I've been lost without a reason
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
To keep going on
C minorCm
The truth is you won't
FF Fsus4Fsus4
be coming back here no more
Cause we don't need no love songs
To feel the pain
Everybody's been through love in vain
We're fools for the heartaches
And blind to the soul
Can't feel the cut
Until the blood hits the floor
DmDm G minorGm
And it hurts so good
DmDm G minorGm
To feel the way lonely should
DmDm G minorGm
Sorrow or comfort Joy is just a name
C minorCm DmDm
You give to her forgiveness
Eb MajorEb FF Fsus4Fsus4 FF
And you take with you the blame
I don't need no love song
To make it real
I saw you coming
And this is how I feel
The truth it can be painful
It hurts to be told
The song is almost over
And it's time to move on
Cause we don't need no love song
We don't need no love song
We don't need no love song
