A                    D               A
I make it half past six you come at seven
D                 A        B7       E
Always trying to keep me, hanging around
A                         D                A
You little spoilt thing, girl you kept me waiting
D             A         B7       E
Never contemplating my point of view

Chorus:
D    E7/G#     A
This comes as no suprise
D    E7/G#         A
I'm fool, for I believed your lies
D   E7/G#            A            F#m
But now I've seen through your disguise
Bm7 E7      C#m7     F#7      Bm7 E7        A
Who needs, 'cause I don't need, who needs you ?

B  A    E
Oh I believed you
F#m  A       E
Went on my knees to you
 B  A   E
How I trusted you
    F#m            E
But you turned me down

         C#m              A
But it's dog eat dog in this rat race
        C#m7                    F#sus4         F#
And it leaves you bleeding lying flat on your face
          A                 B             E
Reaching out, reaching out for a helping hand
E7
(Where is that helping hand ?)

How I was pushed around
Don't let it get you down
You walked all over me
But don't you ever give in

Taking one step forward
Slipping two steps back
There's an empty feeling
That you can't forget
Reaching out for a helping hand

When I met you
You were always charming
Couldn't sleep at night 'till you were mine
You were, oh, so, so sophisticated
Never interested in what I'd say

Chorus:
I had to swallow my pride
So naïve you took me for a ride
But now I'm the one to decide
Who needs, well, I don't need
Who needs you?
