Passenger – The Way That I Need You (Guitar)

                 C           F                 C
He’s the deflated balloon wrapped around your gate

 F                    C                   G
Cut priced to clear a past to “sell by a date”

          C                         F               Am                    G
He’ll be fool running through the churchyard screaming out “it’s not too late”

         G                         C
When he does, I know that you’ll wait

           C                  F                    C
He’s the drunk man with bad breath coming on too strong

           F                  C                  G
He’s the beauty queen that strings your heart along

             C             F               Am              G
And he’ll answer every question in your new-age magazine wrong

        G                 C
But I know you love him strong

          F                              C
So I’m leaving for there’s nothing to believe in

           G                           C
I’m just grieving for a love I never knew

  F
Please don’t go misreading me

           C
I’m not saying you’ve been misleading me

            G            F               C
Just not needing me the way that I need you

            C              F                C
He’s the elephant in the room that never speaks

          F               C         G
But you dream about him every two weeks

          C             F                   G       Am
And I wouldn’t know his name, but you call it in your sleep

      G                C
Oh I know you love him deep

C               F             C
So run back to him like you should

    F             C              G
I guess I always knew that you would

           C           F        Am          F (Hold)
For he’s captured your heart in a way I never could

      G                C
So go on and love him good

         F                              C
Oh I’m leaving for there’s nothing to believe in

            G                        C
I’m just grieving for a love I never knew

          F
You’re the book I can’t stop reading

            C
I’m the stray cat you've been feeding

          G               F               C
But the tides, they are receding now it’s true

  F
Please don’t go misreading me

           C
I’m not saying you’ve been misleading me,

            G          F              Am Cmaj7 G
Just not needing me the way that I need you

           C           F               C
Just not needing me the way that I need you
