Tuning: Standard
Intro:
Verse 1:
I don t need you, I don t need you half as much as you need me
(maj7)
And I thank my lucky stars that you have freed me
Cause I m losing weight at last
Losing weight and losing sleep and losing my mind fast
Verse 2:
Now I don t miss you, I don t miss you any way I expected
I have time to clean the sink and feel neglected
Will I call you up, I won t
I forgot your number, 636-4831
CHORUS:
I don t need you, I don t need you like my life depended on it
You re gone, you re gone, you re gone
It only affects me in the hours when I need you, I need you
Verse 3:
But I don t want you, I do crosswords and I m weaving a basket
And I d never take you back unless you asked it
Instrumental:
(x2)
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
But I don t love you, I don t love you like with whom you are livin
Only twenty times as much and all s forgiven
If you ll just come by today
So that I can have you near forever while I say that -
Outro:
I don t need you, I don t need you, I don t need you, I don t need you
I don t need you...
(Repeat and fade)
[This is a great song with some really nice and unusual chord changes. Perfect to sing
for someone who s heartbroken and needs to laugh a little bit :-)]
