Chords

Hi there! Here's Ed's latest release- "The Man". here's the link- Go buy it on itunes :) http://smarturl.it/x-itunesdlx **UPDATE** I changed the way I had this all labeled because a user just didn't understand it. Even though many users before (and after) had no problem understanding the open chord strumming, I agree it was a bit confusing. So those open strums are now chords that are nearly open strums! Still plays right along, just like before :) *I put the '( )' in just to note that the strumming emphasis is on the open strings, not those in '( )'.

STANDARD TUNING w/ CAPO ON 2 (*= one strum) Em7* Am* G6* F* [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
Em7* Am G6* F.... repeats and fades out
