And those who fall between   Am  
GThe cracks and land upon thCere feetEm  
With the rhythm of the king   Am  
DBut most they sway from sCide to sideEm  
just to keep the story lit Am  
GAnd guide the rest acCross the roomsEm  
the borders and the linesAm  D  G  
Chorus:
CI don't need AmyouEm  
I don't need AmyouEm  
I don't need AmyouC  
Like you don't need Gme
GSomeone can wish you eCverythingEm  
Then take all that he gaveAm  
GAnd tie a rope around the nCeckEm  
of the promises he made   Am  
DThe time he takes to twisCt his liesEm  
just to keep his story lit Am  
GAnd you wish you would haCve bit your lipEm  
then followed him to sleepAm  D  G
