The Man

Tone [Bm]

 

INTRO: [A] [Bm] [F#m] [G] (x2)

[A]Now I don't wanna [Bm]hate you

[Bm]Just wish you'd never gone for the man[F#m]

[G]And waited two weeks at least

Before you let him [A]take you[Bm]

[Bm]I stayed true

[Bm]I kind of knew you liked the dude [F#m]from private [G]school

[G]He's waiting for the time to move

I knew he had [A]his eyes[Bm] on you

[Bm]He's not the right guy for you

Don't hate me cause I [F#m]write the t[G]ruth

[G]No I would never lie to you

 

But it was never fine [A]to [Bm]lose[Bm] you

[Bm]And what a way to find out

It never came[F#m] from my [G]mouth

[G]You never changed your mind

But you were just afraid [A]to [Bm]mind out

But f- it, I won't be changing th[F#m]e subject I love it

[G]I'll make your little secret public it's nothing

[A]I'm just[Bm] disgusted with the skeletons you sleep

With in your [F#m]closet to get [G]back at me

[G]Trapped and I'm lacking sleep

[A]Fact is you're mad [Bm]at me because I backtrack so [F#m]casually

[G]You're practically my family

[G]If we married then I'll [A]guess you'd have to [Bm]be

[Bm]But tragically our love just lost the will to [F#m]live

But would I [G]kill to give it one more shot

[G]I think not

 

[A]I [Bm]don't love you baby

[F#m]I don't need[G] you baby

[A]I don't want[Bm] you no

[F#m]Anymore[G]

[A]I [Bm]don't love you baby

[F#m]I don't need[G] you baby

[A]I don't want[Bm] you no

[F#m]Anymore[G]

 

[G]Recently I tend to [A]zone [Bm]out

[Bm]Up in my headphones to Holocene

[F#m]You promised your [G]body but I'm away so much

[G]I stay more celibate[A] than in a [Bm]monastery

[Bm]I'm not cut out for life on the road

[F#m]Cause I [G]didn't know I'd miss you this much

And [A]at the time we'd just [Bm]go, so sue me

[Bm]I guess I'm not the man that you[F#m] need

Ever [G]since you went to uni

I've been sofa surfing with a [A]ruc[Bm]ksack

[Bm]Full of less cash and I guess that could get [F#m]bad

But when I [G]broke the industry

[G]That's when I broke your heart

[A]I was [Bm]supposed to chart and celebrate

But good things are over [F#m]fast[G]

[G]I know it's hard to deal with and see this

[A]I tend to turn you off and switch[Bm] on my professional features

Then I turn[F#m] the music [G]off

[G]And all I'm left with is to pick up my [A]personal pieces, Jesus[Bm]

I never really want to believe[F#m] this

Got advice[G] from my dad and he

Told me that [A]family is all I'll ever have and [Bm]need

I guess I'm unaware of it[F#m]

[G]Success is nothing if you have

no one there left to share[A] it with

 

[A]I [Bm]don't love you baby

[F#m]I don't need[G] you baby

[A]I don't want[Bm] you no

[F#m]Anymore[G]

[A]I [Bm]don't love you baby

[F#m]I don't need[G] you baby

[A]I don't want[Bm] you no

[F#m]Anymore[G]

 

[A]I [Bm]don't love you baby

[F#m]I don't need[G] you baby

[A]I don't want[Bm] you no

[F#m]Anymore[G]

 

[A]And since you left,[Bm] I've given up my days off

It's what I need to stay [F#m]strong

[G]I know you have a day job but mine is 24/7

[A]I feel like wri[Bm]ting a book, I guess I lied in the hook[F#m]

Cause I still [G]love you and I need you by my side if I [A]could

The [Bm]irony is if my career and music didn't exist

[F#m]In 6 years, yeah, you'd probably be my wife with a [A]kid

I'm frigh[Bm]tened to think if I depend on cider and [F#m]drink

And lighting a spliff[G] I fall into a spiral and it's

[A]Just hiding my mis[Bm]guiding thoughts that I'm trying to kill[F#m]

And I'd be [G]writing my will

before I'm 27, [A]I'll die from a [Bm]thrill

Go down in history as just a wast[F#m]ed talent

[G]Can I face the challenge, or did I make a mistake [A]erasing?a

[Bm]It's only therapy, my thoughts just get [F#m]ahead of me[G]

[G]Eventually I'll be fine I know that it was never meant[A] to [Bm]be

[Bm]Either way I guess I'm not prepared, [F#m]but I'll say this[G]

[G]These things happen for a reason and you [A]can't change [Bm]shit

[Bm]Take my apology, I'm sorry for the [F#m]honesty

But I had[G] to get this off my chest

 

[A]I [Bm]don't love you baby

[F#m]I don't need[G] you baby

[A]I don't want[Bm] you no

[F#m]Anymore[G]

[A]I [Bm]don't love you baby

[F#m]I don't need[G] you baby

[A]I don't want[Bm] you no

[F#m]Anymore[G]
