                    Bm                      E7
You tell me what to do, to keep from losing you
                   A                       Dmaj7
And hold onto the hands that I'm slipping through
                     Bm                        E7
And tell me what it means when you go off to sleep
     F#m
All alone

You know that I can't help I'm not someone else
Or a better version of myself
What you see is what you get, so what did you expect
      G
From me?

Chorus:
Bm                E7         A                               Dmaj7
You want me, you want me to give you better reasons why you shouldn't leave
Bm               E7          A                          Dmaj7
You want me, you want me to fit into your life way too perfectly
Bm             E7                  A                  Dmaj7                    Bm
You don't want me (you don't want me), you don't want me (oh no you don't want me)
               E7                        G
You don't want me, you only want me to change

‪You had us figured out‬
‪You said we'd settle down‬
‪We'd get a bigger place‬
‪In a smaller town‬
‪A quiet little life ‬
‪I'm working nine to five‬
‪Oh no‬

‪But baby, look how I've grown‬
‪You should've known‬
‪But you couldn't leave‬
‪Well enough for long‬

Chorus:
You want me
‪You want me
‪To give you better reasons‬
‪Why you shouldn't leave‬
‪You want me
‪You want me
‪To fit into your life‬
‪Way too perfectly‬
‪You don't want me
‪No, you don't want me
‪You don't want me
‪Oh no, you don't want me
‪You don't want me
‪You only want me to change‬
‪You want me
‪You want me
‪To give you better reasons‬
‪Why you shouldn't leave‬
‪You want me
‪You want me
‪To fit into your life‬
‪Way too perfectly‬

‪You don't want me
‪No, you don't want me
‪You don't want me
‪Oh no, you don't want me
‪You don't want me
‪You only want me to change
