The Man

	  		
Intro: Em7 Am G6 F ) 

Em7                 Am 
Now I don't want to hate you 
                                      G6 
Just wish you'd never gone for the man 
    F 
And waited two weeks at least 
           Em7 
Before you let him take you 
  Am 
I stayed true 
                                  G6 
I kind of knew you liked the dude from private school 
     F 
He's waiting for the time to move 
              Em7 
I knew he had his eyes on you 
     Am 
He's not the right guy for you 
                  G6 
Don't hate me cos I write the truth 
   F 
No I would never lie to you 
                 Em7 
But it was never fine to lose you 
    Am 
And what a way to find out 
   G6                 F 
It never came from my mouth 
You never changed your mind 
                   Em7              Am 
But you were just afraid to find out 
                                          G6 
But f- it, I won't be changing the subject I love it 
F                                      Em7 
I'll make your little secret public its nothing 
         Am 
I'm just disgusted with the skeletons you sleep with  
G6                    F 
In your closet to get back at me 
Trapped and I'm lacking sleep 
Em7            Am                            G6 
Fact is you're mad at me because I backtrack so casually 
F 
You're practically my family 
                        Em7                 Am 
If we married then I'll guess you'd have to be 
                                           G6 
But tragically our love just lost the will to live 
F 
But would I kill to give it one more shot 
           Em7 
I think not 

        Am 
I don't love you baby 
G6      F 
I don't need you baby 
Em7     Am 
I don't want you no 
G6  F 
Any-more 

Em7      Am 
I don't love you baby 
G6      F 
I don't need you baby 
Em7     Am 
I don't want you no 
G6  F 
Any-more 

                   Am 
Recently I tend to zone out 

Up in my headphones to Holocene 
G6                F 
You promised your body but I'm away so much 
            Em7                Am 
I stay more celibate than in a monastery 
                               G6 
Im not cut out for life on the road 
             F 
Cos I didn't know I'd miss you this much 
           Em7                   Am 
And at the time we'd just go, so sue me 
                             G6 
I guess I'm not the man that you need 
     F 
Ever since you went to uni 
                       Em7        Am 
I've been sofa surfing with a rucksack 
                                             G6 
Full of less cash and I guess that could get bad 
           F                                                Em7 
But when I broke the industry that's when I broke your heart 

               Am 
I was supposed to chart and celebrate 
                    G6 
But good things are over fast 
       F 
I know it was hard to deal with and see this 
       Em7                 Am 
I tend to turn you off and switch on my professional features 
     G6               F 
Then I turn the music off 
                                       Em7            Am 
And all I'm left with is to pick up my personal pieces, Jesus 
                       G6 
I never really want to believe this 
    F 
Got advice from my dad and he 
                    Em7              Am 
Told me that family is all I'll ever have and need 
                       G6 
I guess I'm unaware of it 
   F                                          Em7 
Success is nothing if you have no one left to share it with 

        Am 
I don't love you baby 
G6      F 
I don't need you baby 
Em7     Am 
I don't want you no 
G6  F 
Any-more 

Em7      Am 
I don't love you baby 
G6      F 
I don't need you baby 
Em7     Am 
I don't want you no 
G6  F 
Any-more 

    Em7                       Am 
And since you left I've given up my days off 
                         G6 
It's what I need to stay strong 
           F                              Em7 
I know you have a day job But mine is 24/7 
            Am                                       G6 
I fell like writing a book I guess I lied in the hook 
            F                                           Em7 
Cos I still love you and I need you by my side if I could 
          Am                                    G6 
The irony is if my career and music didn't exist 
       F                                              Em7 
In six years yeah you'd probably be my wife with a kid 
                  Am                             G6 
I'm frightened to think if I depend on cider and drink 
               F                                   Em7 
And lighting a spliff I fall into a spiral and it's 
               Am                                     G6 
Just hiding my misguiding thoughts that I'm trying to kill 
           F 
And I'd be writing my will before I'm 27 
     Em7        Am                                         G6 
I'll die from a thrill Go down in history as just a wasted talent 
      F                                          Em7       Am 
Can I face the challenge Or did I make a mistake erasing 
                                        G6 
It's only therapy My thoughts just get ahead of me 
F                                                Em7         Am 
Eventually I'll be fine I know that it was never meant to be 
                                   G6 
Either way I guess I'm not prepared 
             F 
But I'll say this: 
                                         Em7          Am 
These things happen for a reason and you can't change 
                              G6 
Take my apology I'm sorry for the honesty 
             F 
But I had to get this off my chest 

        Am 
I don't love you baby 
G6      F 
I don't need you baby 
Em7     Am 
I don't want you no 
G6  F 
Any-more 

Em7      Am 
I don't love you baby 
G6      F 
I don't need you baby 
Em7     Am 
I don't want you no 
G6  F 
Any-more
