C# F# C# He’s the deflated balloon wrapped around your gate F# C# G# Cut priced to clear a past to “sell by a date” C# D#m He’ll be fool running through the churchyard Fm F# screaming out “it’s not too late” G# C# When he does, I know that you’ll wait He's the drunk man with bad breath coming home on too strong But he's the beauty queen that strings your heart along And he'll answer every question in your new-age magazine wrong But I know you love him strong Chorus: F# C# So I’m leaving for there’s nothing to believe in G# F# C# I’m just grieving for a love I never knew F# Please don’t go misreading me C# I’m not saying you’ve been misleading me G# F# C# Just not needing me the way that I need you Well he's the elephant in the room that never speaks But you dream about him every two weeks And I wouldn't know his name, but you call it in your sleep Oh I know you love him deep So run back to him like you should I guess I always knew that you would For he’s captured your heart in a way I never could So go on and love him good Chorus: Oh I'm leaving for there's nothing to believe in I'm just grieving for a love I never knew You're the book I can't stop reading I'm the stray cat you've been feeding But the tides they are receding now it's true Please don't go misreading me I'm not saying you've been misleading me Just not needing me the way that I need you Just not needing me the way that I need you You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC#  D#m  Fm  F#  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
