But I still a need love ’cause I’m just a (C)man.

And These nights nev er seem to go to plan.

But I don’t want you to leave, will you hold my (C)hand?

Oh, won’t you stay with me?

’Cause you’re all I need.

(G)This ain’t love, it’s (F)clear to see.

But, (E)dar ling, stay with me.

Guess it’s true, Why am (F)I so e mo tion (C)al?

No, it’s not a good look.

And deep down I er know this nev er works.

But you can lay with to me so it does n’t (C)hurt.
