G#mI already know she's a keeper, just from this one small act of kindness, I'm in

[Verse 1]
I Emmet this girl Bmlate last year
She said Cdon't you worry if I disaDppear
I told her I'm Emnot really looking for anotheBmr mistake
I Called an Cold friend thinking that the Dtrouble would wait
But then I jEmump right in
A week latBmer return
I reckon Cshe was only looking for a loDver to burn
But I gEmave her my time for tBmwo or three nights
Then CI put it on pause until the Dmoment was right
I went awaEmy for moBmnths until oCur paths Crossed agaDin
Em Bm
She told me I was never lookin Bmfor a friend
Maybe you Ccould swing by my rooDm around 10
Baby bring Ema lemon and a bottle of Bmgin
We'll be in between thCe sheets until the late DAM
Baby if you wEmanted me then you should've just saBmid
CAh-la-la-la-la
[Hook]
Don't fuDCk with my loveEm
That heart is so CBmold
All over my Carm
DAh-la-la-la-la
Don't fuCk with my lEmove
I told her she Bmknows
Take aim and rCeload
DAh-la-la-la-la
[Verse 2]
For a Couple wEmeeks I
Only want to see Bmher
We drink away the daCys with a take away pizzDa
Before a text meEmssage was the only way to reaCh heBmr
Now she's staying Cat my place and loves the way I treaDt her
Singing out ArEmetha
All over the trBmack like a feature
NCever want to sleep I guess that I dDon't want to either
EmBut me and her we make money Bmthe same way
FCour Cities, two planDes the same day
EmThose shows have never been what it's aboBmut
But maybe we'll Cgo together and just figure it Dout
I'd rather puEmt on a film with you and sit Bmon the Couch
But we should get oCn a plane
Or we'll be missing Dit now
Wish I'd have wrEmitten it down
The way that thBmings played out
When she was kissCing him
How? I was confused aDbout
She should figuEmre it out while I'm sat Bmhere singing
CAh-la-la-la-la
[Hook]
Don't fDuck with my loEmve
That heart is so cBmold
All over mCy arm
DAh-la-la-la-la
Don't fuCk with my lEmove
I told her she Bmknows
Take aim and relCoad
DAh-la-la-la-la
[Verse 3]
Em*Knock knock knock* on my hoteBml door
CI don't even know if she knows Dwhat for
EmShe was crying on my shoulder
BmI already told ya
CTrust and respeCt is what we dDo this for
EmI never intended to be Bmnext
But you Cdidn't need to takDe him to bed that's all
EmAnd I never saw him as a threaBmt
Until you disaCppeared with him to havDe sex of Course
It's Emnot like we were both on toBmur
We were stayCing on the same fucking hotel Dfloor
EmAnd I wasn't looking for a promise Bmor commitment
But it waCs never just fun and I tDhought you were different
EmThis is not the way you realizBme what you wanted
CIt's a bit too much, too laDte if I'm honest
EmAll this time God Bmknows I'm singing
CAh-la-la-la-la
[Hook]
Don't Dfuck with my Emlove
That heart is so CBmold
All over Cmy arm
DAh-la-la-la-la
Don't fuCk with my Emlove
I told her Bmshe knows
Take aim anCd reload

[Intro]
Em Bm C
C[VeDrse Em1]
I met you when I Emwas a teen
But then you Bmwere one as well
And I could Cplay a guitar
Sometimes I Cwonder
And any other Dsummer could you have been my Empart time lover
Under the covers where we Bmused to lay
CAnd "Re: Stacks" is what the speakers play
I'd be on tour almost Devery day
When I was Emhome up in my flat is where we used to stay
Just watching the DVD, Bmsmoking illegal weed
CGetting high as two kites when we needed to breathe
We'd use each other's air Djust for the people to see Em
We go anywhere, our Bmminds would take us
And CI'd say you were beautiful without your make-up
And you don't even need to worry aDbout your weight 'cause
We can Emall be loved the way God made us
At times the only reason that Bmwe could break up
'Cause Cyou would always tell me I'm away too much
Distance is relative to the Dtime that it takes to get Emon a plane
[Hook]
EmOh NinaBm
You should Cgo NinaD
'Cause I ain't never coming Chome
Nina Doh, won't you leave me Emnow
And I've been living on the Emroad NinaBm
But then again you should Cknow Nina D
'Cause that's you and me Cboth
Nina Doh, won't you leave me Emnow, now
[Verse 2]
And every Emweekend in the winter
You'd be Bmwearing my hoodie
With drawCstrings pulled tight
Where we'd Deat on our own
'Cause every Emday when I was away
Watching EmBlue Planet
Creating Bmnew habits
Acting as if we was Ctwo rabbits
Back to burrow with all of the Celtics, DI'd disappear
You'd call me Emselfish, I understand
I put my Emjob over everything
Except my Bmfamily and friends
But you'll be Cin between forever
Overlook the situaDtion
'Cause mixing business and Emfeelings will only lead to complications
And I'm not saying we should be taking a Bmbreak
Just re-evaluate Cquick before we make a mistake and it's too late
So we can either to deal with the Dpain
And wait to get on a Emplane
[Hook]
EmOh NinaBm
You should Cgo NinaD
'Cause I ain't never coming Chome
Nina Doh, won't you leave me Emnow
And I've been living on the Emroad NinaBm
But then again you should Cknow Nina D
'Cause that's you and me Cboth
Nina Doh, won't you leave me Emnow, now

10. THE MAN
Capo 2
[Verse 1]
Em7* Am
Now I don't want to hate you
G6*
Just wish you'd never gone for the man
And Fwaited two weeks at least
Em7*
Before you let him take you
I Amstayed true
G6*
I kind of knew you liked the dude from private school
He's Fwaiting for the time to move
Em7*
I knew he had his eyes on you
He's Amnot the right guy for you
G6*
Don't hate me cos I write the truth
No FI would never lie to you
Em7*
But it was never fine to lose you
And Amwhat 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
I'm just Amdisgusted 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
FYou'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
FBut would I kill to give it one more shot
Em7*
I think not
[Hook]
I don't Amlove 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
[Verse 2]
Recently I tend to zAmone 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
Cos I didn't Fknow 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
Ever Fsince 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
I was supposed Amto chart and celebrate
G6*
But good things are over fast
I know Fit 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
Got Fadvice 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
[Hook]
I don't Amlove 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
[Verse 3]
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
And I'd be Fwriting 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
But I'll say Fthis:
Em7* Am*
These things happen for a reason and you can't change
G6*
Take my apology I'm sorry for the honesty
But I had to Fget this off my chest
[Hook]
I don't Amlove 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

I don't need you baby
Em7* Am
I don't want you no

[Verse 1]
BmThings were all good yesterdaAy D
And then the devil took your memoAry G
And if you fell to your deDath todGay,
I hope that heaven is your resting pBmlace
BmI heard the doctors put your chest in ApaiDn
then that could've been the medicinAeG
And now you're lying in the bed agAain
AEither way I'll cry with the rest of them
[Pre-Chorus]
GAnd my Dfather tolBmd me son

EmAnd we're wrapped in liAght, in life and love

Emfor they're designed Ato be together
BmWith your body next to mGine our hearts will beat as one

And now we're left here in DpaGin
Black suit black tie standing in the raBmin

13. TAKE IT BACK
[Verse 1]
DmI'm not a rapper; I'm a singer with a flow I've got a habit of spitting quicker
lyrics you know
You found me rippiBbng the writtens out of the pages they sit in
and I Cnever want to get bitten because plagiarism is hidden
Watch how DmI sit on the rhythm, prisoner with a vision Signs of LA, but didn't
listen to any criticism
BbThought you knew but you didn't so perk your ears up and listen
CStudio with a system and you could say that I'm driven
DmAnd now it's on to the next saga we drink the best lager, I never tried to
win you over like your stepfather
BbI do my own thing now, and get respect after
CAnd I'm avoiding cocaine like it was Get Carter
DmFor four years I never had a place to stay but it's safe to say that it
kept me grounded like a paperweight
BbAt 16 years old I moved out of my home
CI was Macy Gray I tried to say goodbye and I choked
DmAnd we've been sleeping at the subway station, sleeping with a movie star and
adding to the population
BbNot my imagination, I don't want to relax
CBut would it hurt your reputation,if I put it on wax? So take it back now...
[Hook]
DmCome on and take it back noBbw
CCome on and take it back now
DmDont you fade into the back nowBb C
[Verse 2]
DmTake it back with the rhythm and blues and my back pack I'll be singing the news,
trying to act like Jack Black when I bring them to school
BbI'll make a beat with my feet by just singing a loop,
Cbringing the lyrics to prove that I can fit in these shoes,
Dmand keeping the truth through the vocal booth, stars burst out on the scene like an
opal fruit,
Bbthey try and take aim like beckham when he goes to shoot,
Cbut then again that's what they're supposed to do,
and DmI'm supposed to be calm,I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm, whispering everything
that happens is from now on,
Bb
I'll be willing to start again at the end of the son G
C
still they think I handled it wron G
Dmbut then I never had an enemy, except for NME, but I'll be selling twice as many copies
as the magazines will ever be,
Bband got me spectacles ahead of me and festival fees,
Cto help me with a Dalmatian, no pedigree
Dmsinging for the masses, rubber dinghy rapids,keep this rapping a habit and keep on
passioning magic,
BbI'm battling for the respect,
CI don't know if I'll have it, this songs from the heart, grabbing the plaque I'll
take it back now
[Hook]
DmMmm, come on and take it baBbck, love
CCome on and take it back for us
DmDon't you fade into the bacBbk, lCove
Same chord progression continues
[Verse 3]
DmI don't ever want to be perfect, Cause I'm a singer that you never want to see shirtless
BbI accept the fact that someone has to win the worst-dressed,
CTaking my first steps into the scene, giving me focus
DmPutting on a brave face, like Timothy Dalton,considering a name change,thinking it
was hopeless
BbRhyming over recordings Avoiding tradition
CCause every day some lyrics and a melody can be written
DmNow absence can make your heart ache But drinking absinthe can change your
mind-state, vividly, I need to let my liver be
BbAnd I say it again,
CLiving life on the edge,with a closed hand full of friends
DmIs good advice from a manwho took his life on the road with me
And I hope to see him blowing up globally
BbCause that's how it's supposed to be screaming out vocally
CMight seem totally impossible achieving life's dreams
DmBut, but I just write schemesI'm never having a stylist, giving me tight jeans
BbMadison Square Garden is where I might be, But more likely,
CYou'll find me in the back room of a dive bar with my mates
DmHaving a pint with McDaid, Discussing records we made And every single second knowing
that we'll never betray
BbThe way we were raised Remembering our background
CSat down That's how we put it out; it's time to take it back now
[Hook] (x2)
DmCome on and take it back noBbw
CCome on and take it back now
DmDon't you fade into the back nowBb C
[Verse 4]
DmMy dreams keep me awake at night, Written in rhymes, and lies, deliver the hype
Am I just living the lie
BbWith this you must know that the number's just sold woah
CWill keep me going through the tough times, dream with me
DmWe forget 90 per cent of it when we wake But the other 10 per cent it never fades
BbDreaming dreams, day to day goals Stay awake loads,
try to makCe the cut like the paper or razor blade,
never give Dmup And just remember just to hold out more A couple years ago I couldn't
just control that thought
You'd find me bBbuskin' on the street when it was cold outdoors
And now I'm swCeating on the stage With the sold out tours
Writing lDmove songs for the sake of it Never to make a hit, You can't fake
talent and work ethic just to make it quick
BbI'm not a rapper I'm a singer, I just take the piss and
CMost of these other guys are guys that pose His little sister has to
Dmbabysit, that's just a way it is Dreams you own,just set your goals
And have the utmost faith in it
tread your own Bbpath You'll never make it as a follower,
Cyou'll never know where you will go or where you will be tomorrowDm

[Verse 1]
If this is to Emend in Gfire
Then we shall Dall burn Ctogether
Watch the Emflames climb Ghigh Dinto the Am7night
Calling Emout faGther, Dstand by and Cwe will
Watch the Am7flames burn Bmauburn on the Cmountain side
[Verse 2]
And if we should Emdie toGnight
Then we should Dall die Ctogether
Raise a Emglass of Gwine Dfor the Am7last time
Calling Emout faGther, Dprepare as Cwe will
Watch the Am7flames burn Bmauburn on the Cmountain side
DesoAm7lation Bmcomes upon the Csky
[Chorus]
Now I see EmfireC, Dinside the Emmountain
I see EmfireC, Dburning the Emtrees
And I see EmfireC, Dhollowing Emsouls
I see EmfireC, Dblood in the Am7breeze
And I hope that you'll remember me
[Verse 3]
Oh, should my Empeople Gfall
Then surely DI'll do the Csame
Confined in Emmountain Ghalls
We got too Dclose to the Am7flame
Calling Emout fatGher Dhold fast and Cwe will
Watch the Am7flames burn Bmauburn on the Cmountain side
DesoAm7lation Bmcomes upon the Csky

Now I see EmfireC, Dinside the Emmountain
I see EmfireC, Dburning the Emtrees

And if the Emnight is Gburning
I will Dcover my Ceyes
For if the Emdark reGturns then
My Dbrothers will Am7die
And as the Emsky's falling Gdown
It crashed Dinto this lonely Ctown
And with that Am7shadow upon the ground
I Bmhear my Cpeople screaming Dout

Now I see EmfireC, Dinside the Emmountain
I see EmfireC, Dburning the Emtrees
And I see EmfireC, Dhollowing Emsouls
I see EmfireC, Dblood in the Embreeze
I see Emfire, oh you Cknow I saw a city Dburning (Emfire)
I see Emfire, feel Cthe heat upon my Dskin (Emfire)
And I see Emfire, Coooooo D(fiEmre)
And I see Emfire burn Cauburn on the Dmountain Emside

[Verse 2]
Em
For a Couple weeks I
Bm
Only want to see her
C D
We drink away the days with a take away pizza
Em Bm
Before a text message was the only way to reaCh her
C D
Now she's staying at my place and loves the way I treat her
Em
Singing out Aretha
Bm
All over the track like a feature
C D
Never want to sleep I guess that I don't want to either
Em Bm
But me and her we make money the same way
C D
Four Cities, two planes the same day
Em Bm
Those shows have never been what it's about
C D
But maybe we'll go together and just figure it out
Em Bm
I'd rather put on a film with you and sit on the Couch
C
But we should get on a plane
D
Or we'll be missing it now
Em
Wish I'd have written it down
Bm
The way that things played out
C
When she was kissing him
D
How? I was confused about
Em Bm
She should figure it out while I'm sat here singing
C
Ah-la-la-la-la
[Hook]
D Em
Don't fuck with my love
Bm
That heart is so cold
C
All over my arm

Don't fuCk with my love

I told her she knows
C
Take aim and reload
D
Ah-la-la-la-la
[Verse 3]
Em Bm
*Knock knock knock* on my hotel door
C D
I don't even know if she knows what for
Em
She was crying on my shoulder
Bm
I already told ya
C D
Trust and respeCt is what we do this for
Em Bm
I never intended to be next
C D
But you didn't need to take him to bed that's all
Em Bm
And I never saw him as a threat
C D
Until you disappeared with him to have sex of Course
Em Bm
It's not like we were both on tour
C D
We were staying on the same fucking hotel floor
Em Bm
And I wasn't looking for a promise or commitment
C D
But it was never just fun and I thought you were different
Em Bm
This is not the way you realize what you wanted
C D
It's a bit too much, too late if I'm honest
Em Bm
All this time God knows I'm singing
C
Ah-la-la-la-la
[Hook]
D Em
Don't fuck with my love
Bm
That heart is so Cold

All over my arm

I told her she knows

Capo on 2
[Intro]
Em Bm C
C D Em
[Verse 1]
Em
I met you when I was a teen
Bm
But then you were one as well
C
And I could play a guitar
C
Sometimes I wonder
D Em
And any other summer could you have been my part time lover
Bm
Under the covers where we used to lay
C
And "Re: Stacks" is what the speakers play
D
I'd be on tour almost every day
Em
When I was home up in my flat is where we used to stay
Bm
Just watching the DVD, smoking illegal weed
C
Getting high as two kites when we needed to breathe
D Em
We'd use each other's air just for the people to see
Bm
We go anywhere, our minds would take us
C
And I'd say you were beautiful without your make-up
D
And you don't even need to worry about your weight 'cause
Em
We can all be loved the way God made us
Bm
At times the only reason that we could break up
C
'Cause you would always tell me I'm away too much
D Em
Distance is relative to the time that it takes to get on a plane
[Hook]
Em Bm
Oh Nina
C D
You should go Nina
C
'Cause I ain't never coming home
D Em
Nina oh, won't you leave me now
Em Bm
And I've been living on the road Nina
C D
But then again you should know Nina
C
'Cause that's you and me both
D Em
Nina oh, won't you leave me now, now
[Verse 2]
Em
And every weekend in the winter
Bm
You'd be wearing my hoodie
C
With drawstrings pulled tight
D
Where we'd eat on our own
Em
'Cause every day when I was away
Em
Watching Blue Planet
Bm
Creating new habits
C
Acting as if we was two rabbits
D
Back to burrow with all of the Celtics, I'd disappear
Em
You'd call me selfish, I understand
Em
I put my job over everything
Bm
Except my family and friends
C
But you'll be in between forever
D
Overlook the situation
Em
'Cause mixing business and feelings will only lead to complications
Bm
And I'm not saying we should be taking a break
C
Just re-evaluate quick before we make a mistake and it's too late
D
So we can either to deal with the pain
Em
And wait to get on a plane
[Hook]
Em Bm
Oh Nina
C D
You should go Nina
C
'Cause I ain't never coming home
D Em
Nina oh, won't you leave me now
Em Bm
And I've been living on the road Nina
C D
But then again you should know Nina
C
'Cause that's you and me both
D Em
Nina oh, won't you leave me now, now
[Bridge]
Em Em
-tap- -tap-
Love will come and love will go

-tap- -tap-
But you can make it on your own
Bm Bm Em
-tap- -tap- -tap- (pause) -tap-
Sing that song go, oh won't you leave me now
Em -tap- Em -tap-
C C
-tap- -tap-
But you can't mend your broken heart
Bm Bm Em
-tap- -tap- -tap- (pause) -tap-
Take it back oh, oh won't you leave me now
[Hook] x2
Em Bm
Oh Nina
C D
You should go Nina
C
'Cause I ain't never coming home
D Em
Nina oh, won't you leave me now
Em Bm
And I've been living on the road Nina
C D
But then again you should know Nina
C
'Cause that's you and me both
D Em
Nina oh, won't you leave me now, now

Hearing you whisper through the phone

Capo 1
[Verse 1]
G D C C
You look so wonderful in your dress
G D C C
I love your hair like that
G D C C
The way it falls on the side of your neck
G D C C
Down your shoulders and back
G D C C
We are surrounded by all of these lies

And people who talk too much

You've got that kind of look in your eyes

As if no one knows anything but us
[Pre-Chorus]

You look so beautiful in this light
G D C C
Your silhouette over me
G D C C
The way it brings out the blue in your eyes
G D C C
Is the Tenerife Sea
G D C C
And all of the voices surrounding us here
G D C C
They just fade out when you take a breath
G D C C
Just say the word and I will disappear
G D C C
Into the wilderness
[Pre-Chorus]
C C G D
,, (x3)
C C G D
And should this be the last thing I see

I want you to know it's enough for me

9. RUNAWAY
Capo 4
[Verse 1]
Em
I've known it for a long time
C G
Daddy wakes up to a drink at night
Em
Disappearing all night
C G
I don't wanna know where he's been lying
Em
I know what I wanna do
C G Em
I wanna runaway, runaway with you

Gonna grab clothes, six in the mornin', go
[Pre-Hook]
Am Em G D
"How long you leavin'?"
Am Em G D
"Well dad just don't expect me back this evening."
Am Em G D
Oh it could take a bit of time to heal this

It's been a long day
Em C
*
Thumb on side of the roadway, but
[Hook]
Em C G
I love him from the skin to my bones
Em Am G
But I don't wanna live in his home
Em C G
There's nothing to say cause he knows
Em C Em
* *
I'll just runaway and be on my own ohh, mmm
[Verse 2]
Em
I've never seen my dad cry
C G
Cold as stone in the kitchen light
Em
I'll tell you it's about time
C G
But I was raised to keep quiet
Em
And this is what I'm gonna do
C G Em
Gonna runaway, gonna make that move

Gonna grab clothes, and when it's mornin', go

Em
I don't wanna live this way
C G
Gonna take my things and go
Em
If things change in a matter of days
C G Am
Could be persuaded to hold up
Em
And mama was the same
G
None of us are saints
D Am
I guess that God knows that
Em
I don't wanna runaway
G D Am
And one of these days I might just show that
Em
Put my home in a suitcase
G D
Tie both shoe laces and hope that
B7
Things change but for now I'll leave town

*
With a backpack on my shoulder
[Hook]

10. THE MAN
Capo 2
[Verse 1]
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
[Hook]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Hook]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Hook]
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

Capo 3
[Verse 1]
Bm A D
Things were all good yesterday
A G
And then the devil took your memory
D G
And if you fell to your death today,
Bm
I hope that heaven is your resting place
Bm A D
I heard the doctors put your chest in pain

I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up

And we're wrapped in light, in life and love

Put your open lips on mine, slowly let them shut
Em A
for they're designed to be together
Bm G
With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one

[Verse 2]
Bm A D
Things were all good yesterday

And now we're left here in pain

Black suit black tie standing in the rain

And now my family is one again
A G
Stapled together with the strangers and a friend

Came to my mind I should paint it with a pen

Six years old I remember when

And we're wrapped in light, in life and love
Bm G
Put your open lips on mine, slowly let them shut
Em A
for they're designed to be together
Bm G
With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one
Em A
And we'll set alight, we're afire love
Bm G Em A
[Bridge]
Bm G
My father, and all of my family
Em A
rise from their seats to sing hallelujah
Bm G
And my brother and all of my family
Em A
rise from their seats to sing hallelujah (x2)
Bm G Em A

13. TAKE IT BACK
[Verse 1]
Dm
I'm not a rapper; I'm a singer with a flow I've got a habit of spitting quicker
lyrics you know
Bb
You found me ripping the writtens out of the pages they sit in
C
and I never want to get bitten because plagiarism is hidden
Dm
Watch how I sit on the rhythm, prisoner with a vision Signs of LA, but didn't
listen to any criticism
Bb
Thought you knew but you didn't so perk your ears up and listen
C
Studio with a system and you could say that I'm driven
Dm
And now it's on to the next saga we drink the best lager, I never tried to
win you over like your stepfather
Bb
I do my own thing now, and get respect after
C
And I'm avoiding cocaine like it was Get Carter
Dm
For four years I never had a place to stay but it's safe to say that it
kept me grounded like a paperweight
Bb
At 16 years old I moved out of my home
C
I was Macy Gray I tried to say goodbye and I choked
Dm
And we've been sleeping at the subway station, sleeping with a movie star and
adding to the population
Bb
Not my imagination, I don't want to relax
C
But would it hurt your reputation,if I put it on wax? So take it back now...
[Hook]
Dm Bb
Come on and take it back now
C
Come on and take it back now
Dm Bb C
Dont you fade into the back now
[Verse 2]
Dm
Take it back with the rhythm and blues and my back pack I'll be singing the news,
trying to act like Jack Black when I bring them to school
Bb
I'll make a beat with my feet by just singing a loop,
C
bringing the lyrics to prove that I can fit in these shoes,
Dm
and keeping the truth through the vocal booth, stars burst out on the scene like an
opal fruit,
Bb
they try and take aim like beckham when he goes to shoot,
C
but then again that's what they're supposed to do,
Dm
and I'm supposed to be calm,I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm, whispering everything
that happens is from now on,
Bb
G
I'll be willing to start again at the end of the son
C
G
still they think I handled it wron
Dm
but then I never had an enemy, except for NME, but I'll be selling twice as many copies
as the magazines will ever be,
Bb
and got me spectacles ahead of me and festival fees,
C
to help me with a Dalmatian, no pedigree
Dm
singing for the masses, rubber dinghy rapids,keep this rapping a habit and keep on
passioning magic,
Bb
I'm battling for the respect,
C
I don't know if I'll have it, this songs from the heart, grabbing the plaque I'll
take it back now
[Hook]
Dm Bb
Mmm, come on and take it back, love
C
Come on and take it back for us
Dm Bb C
Don't you fade into the back, love
Same chord progression continues
[Verse 3]
Dm
I don't ever want to be perfect, Cause I'm a singer that you never want to see shirtless
Bb
I accept the fact that someone has to win the worst-dressed,
C
Taking my first steps into the scene, giving me focus
Dm
Putting on a brave face, like Timothy Dalton,considering a name change,thinking it
was hopeless
Bb
Rhyming over recordings Avoiding tradition
C
Cause every day some lyrics and a melody can be written
Dm
Now absence can make your heart ache But drinking absinthe can change your
mind-state, vividly, I need to let my liver be
Bb
And I say it again,
C
Living life on the edge,with a closed hand full of friends
Dm
Is good advice from a manwho took his life on the road with me
And I hope to see him blowing up globally
Bb
Cause that's how it's supposed to be screaming out vocally
C
Might seem totally impossible achieving life's dreams
Dm
But, but I just write schemesI'm never having a stylist, giving me tight jeans
Bb
Madison Square Garden is where I might be, But more likely,
C
You'll find me in the back room of a dive bar with my mates
Dm
Having a pint with McDaid, Discussing records we made And every single second knowing
that we'll never betray
Bb
The way we were raised Remembering our background
C
Sat down That's how we put it out; it's time to take it back now
[Hook] (x2)
Dm Bb
Come on and take it back now
C
Come on and take it back now
Dm Bb C
Don't you fade into the back now
[Verse 4]
Dm
My dreams keep me awake at night, Written in rhymes, and lies, deliver the hype
Am I just living the lie
Bb
With this you must know that the number's just sold woah
C
Will keep me going through the tough times, dream with me
Dm
We forget 90 per cent of it when we wake But the other 10 per cent it never fades
Bb
Dreaming dreams, day to day goals Stay awake loads,
C
try to make the cut like the paper or razor blade,
Dm
never give up And just remember just to hold out more A couple years ago I couldn't
just control that thought
Bb
You'd find me buskin' on the street when it was cold outdoors
C
And now I'm sweating on the stage With the sold out tours
Dm
Writing love songs for the sake of it Never to make a hit, You can't fake
talent and work ethic just to make it quick
Bb
I'm not a rapper I'm a singer, I just take the piss and
C
Most of these other guys are guys that pose His little sister has to
Dm
babysit, that's just a way it is Dreams you own,just set your goals
And have the utmost faith in it
Bb
tread your own path You'll never make it as a follower,
C Dm
you'll never know where you will go or where you will be tomorrow
