C              D             Em
I've been too numb to understand
            C             D            Bm
I'm just a victim of the weapon in my hand
C        D             Em
So many casualties of love
               C                 D             Bm
But I've been bulletproof, I'm staring at the sun

          C             D
I was the one you took home
         Em             G
Never a flame to burn slow
           C                D              Bm
But I was hoping you'd see me a different way
         C           D
So many bodies I've touched
           Em            G
Crashing around me like dust
             C                 D           Bm
You are the realest thing I've ever had to fake

Chorus:
C        D      Em           G
I don't need nobody, need nobody but
C        D      Bm           G
I don't need nobody, need nobody but you
C        D      Em           G
I don't need nobody, need nobody but you
C        D      Bm           G
I don't need nobody, need nobody but you
C        D      Em           G
I don't need nobody, need nobody but you
C        D      Bm           G
I don't need nobody, need nobody but you

I'm just so used to emptiness
Can't feel your heartbeat when I'm lying on your chest
You're different from the ones before
I know you don't believe it's you I've waited for

I was the one you took home
Never a flame to burn slow
But I was hoping you'd see me a different way
So many bodies I've touched
Crushing around me like dust
You are the realest thing I've never had to fake

Chorus

           C                D              Bm C D Em
But I was hoping you'd see me a different way
             C                 D           Bm
You are the realest thing I've ever had to fake

Chorus
