The Man

[Intro]
A Bm F#m G A Bm
F#m

[Verse 1]
G
 No,
A       Bm
I don't wanna hate you Just wish you'd never gone for the
man
F#m
G
And waited two weeks at least
               A        Bm
Before you let him take you
I stayed true
                                       F#m
I kind of knew you liked the dude from pri-vate school
     G                                                   A
He's waiting for the time to move I knew he had his eyes on
you
Bm
He's not the right guy for you
                      F#m
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
And what a way to find out
         F#m          G
It never came from my mouth
You never changed your mind
                    A       Bm
But you were just afraid to mind out
But fuck it,
                           F#m
I won't be changing the subject I love it
G                                               A
I'll make your little secret public it's nothing
    Bm
I'm just disgusted with the skeletons you sleep with in
     F#m           G
your closet to get back at me 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
                        A           Bm
If we married then I'll guess you'd have to be
                                           F#m
But tragically our love just lost the will to live
            G
But would I kill to give it one more shot I think not
A      Bm
I don't

[Chorus]
love you baby
F#m          G         A      Bm
I  don't need you baby I don't
want you no
F#m    G A      Bm
Anymore  I don't
love you baby
F#m          G          A
I  don't need you baby I
      Bm
don't wanna love you no
F#m    G
Anymore
           A       Bm
Recently I tend to zone out

[Verse 2]
Up in my headphones to Holocene
    F#m             G
You promised your body but I'm away so much
                A         Bm
I stay more celibate than in a monastery
                                F#m
I'm not cut out for life on the road
               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
                             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
                                             F#m
Full of less cash and I guess that could get bad
           G
But when I broke the industry That's when I broke your
heart
A
  Bm
I was supposed to chart and celebrate
                    F#m
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
                                          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
Success is nothing if you have no one there left to share
        A      Bm
it with I don't

[Chorus]
love you baby
F#m          G         A      Bm
I  don't need you baby I don't
want you no
F#m    G A      Bm
Anymore  I don't
love you baby
F#m          G          A
I  don't need you baby I
      Bm
don't wanna love you no
F#m    G
Anymore
          A
And since you left

[Verse 3]
Bm
I've given up my days off It's what I need to stay strong
F#m
           G
I know you have a day job
But mine is 24/7
  A         Bm
I feel like writing a book
I guess I lied in the hook
F#m                G
Cause I still love you and I need you by my side if I could
    A  Bm
The irony is if my career and music didn't exist
   F#m
In 6  years, yeah,
      G
you'd probably be my wife with a kid
               A        Bm
I'm frightened to think if I depend on cider and drink
                      F#m          G
And lighting a spliff I  fall into a spiral and it's
                          A             Bm
Just hiding my misguiding thoughts that I'm trying to kill
                                  F#m
And I'd be writing my will before I'm 27
     G
I'll die from a thrill
                           A    Bm
Go down in history as just a wasted talent
Can I face the challenge
                F#m        G
Or did I make a mistake erasing?
It's only therapy
                              A
My thoughts just get ahead of me
 Bm
Eventually I'll be fine I know that it was never meant
F#m
to be
       G
Either way I guess I'm not prepared
But I'll say this
      A         Bm
These things happen for a reason and you can't change shit
Take my apology
F#m           G
I'm sorry for the honesty But I had to get this off my
chest
A      Bm
I don't

[Chorus]
love you baby
F#m          G         A      Bm
I  don't need you baby I don't
want you no
F#m    G A      Bm
Anymore  I don't
love you baby
F#m          G          A
I  don't need you baby I
      Bm
don't wanna love you no
F#m    G A Bm
Anymore
