I Don't Need You

Rupert Holmes


Tom: Dm

           Fmaj7                  Dm     Dm/C         Bbmaj7
I don't need you I don't need you half as much as you need me
        A7                                 Dm            Dm/C
And I thank my lucky stars That you have freed me
           F                 G
'Cause I'm losing weight at last
Bbmaj7            Am7                     Gm7           C7
Losing weight and losing sleep     And losing my mind fast

           Fmaj7                  Dm    Dm/C     Bbmaj7
I don't need you I don't miss you in the way    I expected
       A7                              Dm                Dm/C
I have time to clean the sink and feel neglected
       F               G        Bbmaj7       Am7     
    C7
Will I call you up, I won't    I forgot your number 636-     4831

          C#11              Bbm7                             Fmaj7
And I don't need you I don't need you like my life depended on it
 Fmaj7
You're gone, you're gone, you're gone
   C#11         Bbm7                           Gm7            
        C7
It only          Affects me in the hours when I need you    Oh  I need you

           Fmaj7           Dm                Dm/C       Bbmaj7
But I don't want you I do crosswords and I'm weaving a basket
            A7                         Dm       Dm/C     
    C7
And I'd never take you back unless you asked it

Chorus
            Fmaj7           Dm                   Dm/C        Bbmaj7
But I don't love you I don't love you like with whom you are living
     A7                               Dm                 Dm/C
Only twenty times as much And all's forgiven
          F           G     Bbmaj7   Am7                
            C7
If you'd just drop by today So that I can have you near forever while I say
             Fmaj7              Dm              Gm               C7
That I don't need you I don't need you I don't need you I don't need you x 2
