Ed Sheeran - You Need Me I Dont Need You

[intro]
Em

[verse 1]
        Em
Now I'm in town, break it down

Thinking of making a new sound
G
Playing a different show every night
In front of a new crowd
A
That's you now, ciao
Seems that life is great now
C                  D
See me lose focus, as I sing to you loud
Em                   G
I can't, no, I won't hush
                                 A
I'll say the words that make you blush
                    C   D
I'm gonna sing this now,  ow ow
Em
See, I'm true, my songs are where my heart is
G
I'm like glue, I stick to other artists
A
I'm not you, now that would be disastrous
C
Let me sing and do my thing
D
And move to greener pastures
Em
See, I'm real, I do it all, it's all me
G
I'm not fake, don't ever call me lazy
A
I won't stay put
Give me the chance to be free
Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me

[chorus]
Em                                   G
Cause you need me, man, I don't need you
                               A
You need me, man, I don't need you
                               C
You need me, man, I don't need you at all
         D                     Em
You need me, man, I don't need you
                                  G
You need me, man, I don't need you
                               A
You need me, man, I don't need you
                               C
You need me, man, I don't need you at all
         D
You need me

[verse 2]
           Em
I sing and write my own tune
and I write my own verse
      G
Hell, don't need another wordsmith
to make the tune sell?
A
Call yourself a singer-writer
You're just bluffing
C
Your name's on the credits
         D
And you didn't write nothing
Em
I sing fast
                           G
I know that all my shit's cool
I will blast
And I didn't go to Brit School
A
I came fast with the way I act, right
I can't last, if I'm smoking on a crack pipe
Em
I won't be a product of my genre
G
My mind will always be stronger
than my songs are
A
Never believe the bullshit that
fake guys feed to ya
C
Always read the stories that you
  D
hear in Wikipedia
Em
And musically I'm demonstrating
G
When I perform live,
feels like I am meditating
A
Times at The Enterprise
when some fella filmed me
C
Young singer-writer like I'm Gabriella Cilmi

[chorus]
Em                                   G
Cause you need me, man, I don't need you
                               A
You need me, man, I don't need you
                               C
You need me, man, I don't need you at all
         D                     Em
You need me, man, I don't need you
                                   G
You need me, man, I don't need you
                               A
You need me, man, I don't need you
                               C
You need me, man, I don't need you at all
         D
You need me

[verse 3]
Cause with the lyrics I'll be
Em
aiming it right
                               G
I won't stop till my name's in lights
At stadium heights with Damien Rice
       A
On red carpets, now I'm on Arabian Nights
            C
Because I'm young and all my brother's
      D
gonna give me advice
     Em
Long nighter, short height and I gone hyper
G
Never be anything but a singer-songwriter
A
The game's over but now I'm on a new level
C
Watch how I step on the
   D
track without a loop pedal
Em
People think that I'm bound to blow up
G
I've done around about a thousand shows
      A
But I haven't got a house
plus I live on the couch
   C
So you can be the lyrics when I'm
D
singing them out, Wow
Em
From day one, I've been prepared
     G
With V05 wax for my ginger hair
           A
So now I'm back to the sofa,
giving a dose of what the future holds
'Cause it's another day
                  Em
Plus I'll keep my last name forever
keep the genre pretty basic
         G
Gonna be breaking into
other peoples tunes when I chase it
    A
And replace it with
the elephant in the room with a facelift
C                          D
Into another rappers shoes using new laces
Em
Selling CDs from my rucksack
aiming for the papers
G
Selling CDs from my rucksack
aiming for the majors
      A
Nationwide tour with just jack,
still had to get the bus back
C
Clean cut kid without a
D
razor for the mustache
  Em
I hit back when the pen hurts me
    G
I'm still a choir boy in a Fenchurch tee
    A
I'm still the same as a year ago
But more people hear me though
  C                           D
According to the MySpace and YouTube videos
    Em
I'm always doing shows if I'm
not I'm in the studio
G
Truly broke, never growing up call me Ruffio
A
Melody music maker
Reading all the papers
C
They say I'm up and coming like I'm
              Em
fucking in an elevator.

[chorus]
                                   G
Cause you need me, man, I don't need you
                               A
You need me, man, I don't need you
                               C
You need me, man, I don't need you at all
         D                     Em
You need me, man, I don't need you
                                   G
You need me, man, I don't need you
                               A
You need me, man, I don't need you
                               C
You need me, man, I don't need you at all
          D
You need me, man, I don't need you
