Tom: G
G Gsus G Gsus G
[Verse 1]
G Gsus G Gsus G
I'd like to say that our love is like a dead cell phone
G G/A G/B
where you can plug it back up and it comes back on,
C
but it's more like a friend that I lost in the past
yeah I loved who you were, but I can't get that back
G Gsus G Gsus G
no, no
G Gsus G Gsus
I'd like to sleep in the comfort of my own bed
G G/A G/B
wrapped up in you like a book I've not read,
C
but you kicked me out, now I'm sleeping alone
G Gsus G Gsus G G/A G/B
on this old dirty couch checking my phone for you
[Chorus]
C
I'm not talking you down
C
I'm not chewing you out
C
I'm not being unkind
G Gsus G Gsus G G/A G/B
I'm just saying what's on my mind
C
I'm not shutting my mouth,
C
I'm not talking too loud,
C
I ain't losing my head,
G
I'm just saying what needs to be said
[Verse 2]
G Gsus G Gsus
I'd rather live in the corner of an overpass
G G/A G/B
in the middle of the city regretting my past,
C
than fall for a girl with pearly white teeth
who said she had time, but spent none on me.
G Gsus G Gsus
I'd rather busk in the streets to pay for my meals,
G G/A G/B
and pick up bad habits and learn how to steal,
C
than have a nice job but spend all my cash
on diamonds and pearls for a love that won't last,
G Gsus G Gsus G G/A G/B
no, no
[Chorus]
C
I'm not talking you down
C
I'm not chewing you out
C
I'm not being unkind
G Gsus G Gsus G G/A G/B
I'm just saying what's on my mind
C
I'm not shutting my mouth,
C
I'm not talking too loud,
C
I ain't losing my head,
C
I'm just saying what needs to be said
[Instrumental]
G G/A G/B G/D G/C G/B
G G/A G/B G/D G/C G/B C
What needs to be said
G G/A G/B G/D G/C G/B C
ohhhhhh what needs to be said
[Chorus]
C
I'm not talking you down
C
I'm not chewing you out
C
I'm not being unkind
G G/A G/B G/D G/C G/B
I'm just saying what's on my mind
C
I'm not shutting my mouth,
C
I'm not talking too loud,
C
I ain't losing my head,
C G Gsus G Gsus G
I'm just saying what needs to be said
[Outro]
C
You're more like a friend that I lost in the past.
Yeah, I loved who you were, but I can't get that back
G
no, no
