Chords with lyrics

Capo I

* = Strum Once


INTRO

C majorC FF X3

VERSE 1

         C majorC      FF         C majorC
He's the deflated balloon wrapped around your gate
 FF           C majorC          G+G
Cut priced to clear and past his sell by a date
     C majorC             FF      A minorAm            D9D9
He'll be fool running through the churchyard screaming out "it's not too late"
     G+G            C majorC      FF
When he does, I know that you'll wait

VERSE 2

      C majorC         FF          C majorC
He's the drunk man with bad breath coming on too strong
      FF         C majorC         G+G
He's the beauty queen that strings your heart along
       C majorC       FF        A minorAm       D9D9   G+G
And he'll answer every question in your new-age magazine wrong
              C majorC
But I know you love him strong


CHORUS

      FF           C majorC
So I'm leaving for theres nothing to believe in
      G+G       FF      C majorC
I'm just grieving for a love I never knew
 FF
Please dont go mistreating me
      C majorC
I'm not saying you've been misleading me
      G+G      FF        C majorC
Just not needing me the way that I need you


C majorC FF x 3


VERSE 3

      C majorC       FF        C majorC
He's the elephant in the room that never speaks
     FF        C majorC       G+G
But you dream about him every two weeks
    C majorC       FF          A minorAm    D9D9  G+G
I wouldnt know his name, but you call it in your sleep
             C majorC
Oh I know you love him deep

BRIDGE


C majorC        FF       C majorC
So run back to him like you should
  FF       C majorC       G+G
I guess I always knew that you would
      *C      *F    *Am     *D9  G+G
For he's captured your heart in a way I never could
           C majorC
So go on and love him good


CHORUS (2)


     FF            C majorC
So I'm leaving for there's nothing to believe in
      G+G       FF     C majorC
I'm just grieving for a love I never knew
     FF
I'm the stray cat you keep feeding
      C majorC
You're the book I cant stop reading
     G+G     FF        C majorC
But the tides are receding that its true
   FF
So please dont go mistreating me
      C majorC
I'm not saying youve been misleading me,
      *G     *F       *Am  *CMaj7 *G
Just not needing me the way that I need you
      *C      *F        C majorC
Just not needing me the way that I need you
