^EmNow I'm in town, break it down Thinking of making a new sound ^GPlaying a different show every night In front of a new crowd ^AThat's you now, hello, ciao Seems that life is great now ^CSee me lose focus, ^Das I sing to you loud ^EmI can't, no, I won't ^Ghush I'll say the words that make you ^Ablush I'm gonna sing this ^Cnow ^D ^EmSee, I'm true, my songs are where my heart is ^GI'm like glue, I stick to other artists ^AI'm not you, now that would be disastrous ^CLet me sing and do my thing ^DAnd move to greener pastures ^EmSee, I'm real, I do it all, it's all me ^GI'm not fake, don't ever call me lazy ^AI won't stay put Give me the chance to be free ^CSuffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me

[Chorus] (The chorus has a same pattern of the intro)

^EmYou need me, man, I don't need yo^Gu You need me, man, I don't need you^A You need me, man, I don't need you^C at all you ^Dneed me man I dont need you

[Verse 2]

^EmI sing and write my own tune and I write my own verse, hell ^GDon't need another wordsmith to make the tune sell? ^ACall yourself a singer-writer You're just bluffing ^CYour name's on the credits And you d^Didn't write nothing ^EmI sing fast I know that all my shit's cool ^GI will blast And I didn't go to Brit School ^AI came fast with the way I act, right ^CI can't last, if I'm smo^Dking on a crack pipe ^EmI won't be a product of my genre ^GMy mind will always be stronger than my songs are ^ANever believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya ^CAlways read the stories that you he^Dar in Wikipedia ^EmAnd musically I'm demonstrating ^GWhen I perform live, feels like I am meditating ^ATimes at The Enterprise when some fella filmed me ^CA young singer-writer like G^Dabriella Cilmi

[Chorus]

^EmYou need me, man, I don't need yo^Gu You need me, man, I don't need you^A You need me, man, I don't need you^C at all you ^Dneed me man I dont need you

Im just gonna skip all the way to beginning of the instrumental part.
