The Man Guitar Chords Ed Sheeran
[Verse 1]
G Am
No I don’t wanna hate
Em F
Just wish you’d never gone for the man
And waited two weeks at least
G Am
Before you let him take you
I stayed true
Em F
I kind of knew you liked the dude from private school
He’s waiting for the time to move
G Am
I knew he had his eyes on you
He’s not the right guy for you
Em F
Don’t hate me cos I write the truth
No I would never lie to you
G Am
But it was never fine to lose you
And what a way to find out
Em F
It never came from my mouth
You never changed your mind
G Am
But you were just afraid to find out
Em F
But f- it, I won’t be changing the subject I love it
G
I’ll make your little secret public its nothing
Am
I’m just disgusted with the skeletons you sleep with
Em F
In your closet to get back at me
Trapped and I’m lacking sleep
G Am Em F
Fact is you’re mad at me because I backtrack so casually
You’re practically my family
G Am
If we married then I’ll guess you’d have to be
Em
But tragically our love just lost the will to live
F
But would I kill to give it one more shot
I think not
[Chorus]
G Am
I don’t love you baby
Em F
I don’t need you baby
G Am
I don’t want you no
Em F
Anymore
G Am
I don’t love you baby
Em F
I don’t need you baby
G Am
I don’t wanna love you no
Em F
Anymore
[Verse 2]
Recently I tend to zone out
Up in my headphones to Holocene
You promised your body but I’m away so much
I stay more celibate than in a monastery
Im not cut out for life on the road
Cos I didn’t know I’d miss you this much
And at the time we’d just go, so sue me
I guess I’m not the man that you need
Ever since you went to uni
I’ve been sofa surfing with a rucksack
Full of less cash and I guess that could get bad
But when I broke the industry
That’s when I broke your heart
I was supposed to chart and celebrate
But good things are over fast
I know it’s hard to deal with and see this
I tend to turn you off and switch on my professional features
Then I turn the music off
And all I’m left with is to pick up my personal pieces, Jesus
I never really want to believe this
Got advice from my dad and he
Told me that family is all I’ll ever have and need
I guess I’m unaware of it
Success is nothing if you have no one left to share it with
[Chorus 1x]
[Verse 3]
And since you left
I’ve given up my days off
It’s what I need to stay strong
I know you have a day job
But mine is 24/7
I fell like writing a book
I guess I lied in the hook
Cos I still love you and I need you by my side if I could
The irony is if my career and music didn’t exist
In 6 years yeah you’d probably be my wife with a kid
I’m frightened to think if I depend on cider and drink
And lighting a spliff I fall into a spiral and its
Just hiding my misguiding thoughts that I’m trying to kill
And I’d be writing my will before I’m 27
I’ll die from a thrill
Go down in history as just a wasted talent
Can I face the challenge
Or did I make a mistake erasing
It’s only therapy
My thoughts just get ahead of me
Eventually I’ll be fine I know that it was never meant to be
Either way I guess I’m not prepared
But I’ll say this
These things happen for a reason and you can’t change
Take my apology
I’m sorry for the honesty
But I had to get this off my chest
