     C
You must think I'm a fool
 G                 F       C
So prosaic and awkward and all
        C
D'you think you've got me down?
        G                       F        C
D'you think I've never been out of this town?

   Em7        Fmaj7     Am            G
Do I seem too eager to please to you now?
            F        C
You don't know me at all
  Em7          Fmaj7        Am            G
I can't turn it on, turn it off like you now
         F        C
I'm not like you now

Now, now you're here
I bet you're wishing you could disappear
I'm trying to be kind
I get the feeling you're just killing time

You look down at me, don't you look down at me now
You don't know me at all
A slap in the face, in the face for you now
Just might do now

Chorus:
        G      Am  Dm7
You're leaving so soon
                        G
Never had a chance to bloom
         Am      Dm7
But you were so quick
                G
To change your tune
      Am   Dm7
Don't look back
                             G
If I'm a weight around your neck
           Am         Dm7
Cos if you don't need me
              Am
I don't need you

Dm       G  C Am  G/B Em F
Leaving so soon, soon
Leaving, leaving so, soon

Chorus:
You're leaving so soon?
Never had a chance to bloom
But you were so quick to change your tune
Don't look back
If I'm a weight around your neck
Cause if you don't need me
Then I don't need you
