Chorus:
Em        G     D       Em           G      D
I don't need nobody, no, I, I don't need nobody
    Em       G      D          Em  G D
Oh, I don't need nobody to be alone,
       Em  G D
To be alone.

C                      Em      G
And in the darkness a shallow voice
              D
And it hears all.
   C                         Em
I bite my tongue, there's a fever,
   G               D
I will not let it go.

Chorus

And in the darkness a shallow poison
It has grown
I bite my tongue, there's a fever
I will not let it show

And in the darkness a shallow poison
It has grown
I bite my tongue, there's a fever
I will not let it show
