           G              C                       G  Gadd11  G
He's the deflated balloon wrapped around your gate

    C                    G                     D
Cut priced to clear and past his "sell by" date

              G                       C                    Dadd11             C
He'll be the fool running through the churchyard screaming out "it's not too late"

        D                            G   Gadd11
when he does, I know that you'll wait

         G                  C                         G     Gadd4  G
He's the drunk man with bad breath coming home on too strong

             C                 G                       D
But he's the beauty queen that strings your heart along

          G            C                Dadd11           C      D
And he'll answer every question in your new-age magazine wrong

                                G Gadd11 G  C
But I know you love him strong

                           G
So I'm leaving for there's nothing to believe in

         D               C           G    Gadd11 G  C
I'm just grieving for a love I never knew

        G
I'm not saying you've been misleading me

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

         G               C                     G  Gadd11  G
he's the elephant in the room that never speaks

        C               G               D
But you dream about him every two weeks

      G                 C             Dadd11         C      D
And I wouldn't know his name, but you call it in your sleep

                          G  Gadd11 G
Oh I know you love him deep

               C            G
So run back to him like you should

  Am             G                 D
I guess I always knew that you would

         G                 C      Dadd11      C      D
For he's captured your heart in a way I never could

                        G   Gadd11 G  C
So go on and love him good

                           G
So I'm leaving for there's nothing to believe in

         D               C             G  Gadd11 G
I'm just grieving for a love I never knew

        C
I'm the stray cat you keep feeding

            G
You're the book I can't stop reading

         D                C                   G Gadd11 G
But the tides they are receding now, it's true

   C
So Please don't go misreading me

        G
I'm not saying you've been misleading me

         D              C               Em7
Just not needing me the way that I need you

         D              C               G    Gadd9
Just not needing me the way that I need you
