INTRO A Bm F#m G x2
A                  Bm
Now I don't wanna hate you
Bm                                 F#m
Just wish you'd never gone for the man
G
And waited two weeks at least
                   A      Bm
Before you let him take you
Bm
I stayed true
Bm                                 F#m        G
I kind of knew you liked the dude from private school
G
He's waiting for the time to move
               A    Bm
I knew he had his eyes on you
Bm
He's not the right guy for you
                     F#m         G
Don't hate me cause I write the truth
G
No I would never lie to you
                         A Bm
But it was never fine to lose you
Bm
And what a way to find out
           F#m          G
It never came from my mouth  
G
You never changed your mind
                        A Bm
But you were just afraid to mind out
                                      F#m
But f- it, I won't be changing the subject I love it
G
I'll make your little secret public it's nothing
A     Bm
I'm just disgusted with the skeletons you sleep 
              F#m          G
With in your closet to get back at me
G
Trapped and I'm lacking sleep
A                Bm                              F#m
Fact is you're mad at me because I backtrack so casually
G
You're practically my family
G                        A                 Bm
If we married then I'll guess you'd have to be
Bm                                          F#m
But tragically our love just lost the will to live
             G
But would I kill to give it one more shot
G
I think not
 
[Hook]
A  Bm
I don't love you baby
F#m       G
I don't need you baby
A         Bm
I don't want you no
F#m   G
Anymore
A  Bm
I don't love you baby
F#m       G
I don't need you baby
A         Bm
I don't want you no
F#m   G
Anymore
 
G                   A   Bm
Recently I tend to zone out
Bm
Up in my headphones to Holocene
F#m                G
You promised your body but I'm away so much
G                  A           Bm
I stay more celibate than in a monastery
Bm
I'm not cut out for life on the road
F#m     G
Cause I didn't know I'd miss you this much
    A                     Bm
And at the time we'd just go, so sue me
Bm                             F#m
I guess I'm not the man that you need
     G
Ever since you went to uni
                              A Bm
I've been sofa surfing with a rucksack     
Bm                                            F#m
Full of less cash and I guess that could get bad
             G
But when I broke the industry
G
That's when I broke your heart
A       Bm
I was supposed to chart and celebrate
                         F#m G
But good things are over fast
G
I know it's hard to deal with and see this
A                               Bm
I tend to turn you off and switch on my professional features
          F#m          G
Then I turn the music off
G                                       A                 Bm
And all I'm left with is to pick up my personal pieces, Jesus
                          F#m
I never really want to believe this
       G
Got advice from my dad and he
              A                                 Bm
Told me that family is all I'll ever have and need
                        F#m
I guess I'm unaware of it  
G                                                     A
Success is nothing if you have no one there left to share it with
 
[Hook]
A  Bm
I don't love you baby
F#m       G
I don't need you baby
A         Bm
I don't want you no
F#m   G
Anymore
A  Bm
I don't love you baby
F#m       G
I don't need you baby
A         Bm
I don't want you no
F#m   G
Anymore
 
A                 Bm
And since you left, I've given up my days off
                            F#m
It's what I need to stay strong
G
I know you have a day job but mine is 24/7
A               Bm                                  F#m
I feel like writing a book, I guess I lied in the hook
               G                                         A
Cause I still love you and I need you by my side if I could
      Bm
The irony is if my career and music didn't exist
F#m           H                                      A
In 6 years, yeah, you'd probably be my wife with a kid
         Bm                                        F#m
I'm frightened to think if I depend on cider and drink
                    G
And lighting a spliff I fall into a spiral and it's
A                Bm                                     F#m
Just hiding my misguiding thoughts that I'm trying to kill   
            G                                   A          Bm
And I'd be writing my will before I'm 27, I'll die from a thrill
                                       F#m
Go down in history as just a wasted talent  
G                                                   A
Can I face the challenge, or did I make a mistake erasing?
Bm                                      F#m        G
It's only therapy, my thoughts just get ahead of me
G                                                   A     Bm
Eventually I'll be fine I know that it was never meant to be
Bm                                   F#m              G
Either way I guess I'm not prepared, but I'll say this
G                                       A             Bm
These things happen for a reason and you can't change shit
Bm                                  F#m
Take my apology, I'm sorry for the honesty
        G
But I had to get this off my chest
 
[Hook]
A  Bm
I don't love you baby
F#m       G
I don't need you baby
A         Bm
I don't want you no
F#m   G
Anymore
A  Bm
I don't love you baby
F#m       G
I don't need you baby
A         Bm
I don't want you no
F#m   G
Anymore
