This is the chords of The Way That I Need You by Passenger on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.
[Intro]
C F x3
[Verse 1]
C F C
He’s the deflated balloon wrapped around your gate
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 churchyard 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 love him strong
[Chorus]
F C
So I’m leaving for there’s nothing to believe in
G C
I’m just grieving 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 F x3
[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
C F G Am
And 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
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
Oh I’m leaving for there’s nothing to believe in
G C
I’m just grieving for a love I never knew
F
You’re the book I can’t stop reading
C
I’m the stray cat you\’ve been feeding
G F C
But the tides, they are receding now it’s true
F
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
[Outro]
F C x3
