Intro
C F X3
Verse 1
                 C           F                 C
He’s the deflated balloon wrapped around your gait
 F                    C                   G   
Cut priced to clear a past to “sell by a date”
          C                         F            Am                    G
He’ll be fool running through the church screaming out “it’s not too late”
         G                         C
When he does, I know that you’ll wait
Verse 2
           C                  F                    C  
He’s the drunk man with bad breath coming on too strong
           F                  C                  G 
He’s the beauty queen that strings your heart along
             C             F               Am              G
And he’ll answer every question in your new-age magazine wrong
        G                    C
But I know you’ll love him strong
Chorus 
          F                                 C    
So I’m leaving before there’s nothing to believe in
           G                          C
I’m just craving 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
C FX3
Verse 3
            C              F                C
He’s the elephant in the room that never speaks
          F               C         G
But you dream about him every two weeks
(*=Strum Once)
      C             F                   G       Am
I wouldn’t know his name, but you call it in your sleep
      G                C
Oh I know you love him deep
Bridge
C               F             C
So run back to him like you should
    F             C              G
I guess I always knew that you would
           C           F        Am          F (Hold)
For he’s captured your heart in a way I never could
      G                C 
So go on and love him good
Chorus 2
         F                                 C
So I’m leaving before there’s nothing to believe in
            G                       C
I’m just craving for a love I never knew
          F
I’m the stray cat you keep feeding
            C
You’re the book I can’t stop reading
          G          F                C
But the tides are receding that it’s true
      F
So please don’t go misreading me
           C
I’m not saying you’ve been misleading me,
            G          F              Am CMaj7 G
Just not needing me the way that I need you
           C           F               C
Just not needing me the way that I need you
