If it wasn't for you my friend why should everything be such a fuss
                  C      F            Em        Am        Dm        G 
It's so difficult to pretend that the living is easy with us
Em                  Fmaj7
You tell me what to do
Gmaj7                   Am
And I tell you where to go
Em             Fmaj7
One and one is two
Gmaj7                   Am      Bb   G
But not because you tell me so  
                 C      F          Em         Am        Dm        G 
If it wasn't for you I bet I could do better sleeping at night
                 C      F          Em       Am          Dm        G 
It's so difficult to forget every stupid or meaningless fight
Em           Fmaj7
You say go away
Gmaj7                   Am
And I say it's fine with me
Em              Fmaj7
Then I want to stay
Gmaj7                   Am  Bb  C
Nowhere that I'd rather be

Sad bastard
F              G                     Am    G F   G  
And I'd be one too, if it wasn't for you
                 C      F              Em         Am        Dm        G
If it wasn't for me I guess, you could be someone better by now
                  C      F          Em          Am          Dm        G
It's so difficult to confess, but I see we're together somehow
Em              F
I don't want to know
Gmaj7                   Am
If I got it right or wrong
Em           F
Hope you never go
Gmaj7                  Am
Hope we're gonna get along
