Tuning: Standard

Intro:
F   Fmaj7    F    Fmaj7

Verse 1:
        F                 Am       Am7     Am          Bb
I don't need you, I don't need you half as much as you need me
      Am7            A                   Dm      Dm(maj7)
And I thank my lucky stars that you have freed me
 Dm7                        G7
'Cause I'm losing weight at last
Bb                Am7              Gm7            C
Losing weight and losing sleep and losing my mind fast

Verse 2:
Now I don't miss you, I don't miss you any way I expected
I have time to clean the sink and feel neglected
Will I call you up, I won't
I forgot your number, 636-4831

CHORUS:
        Bbm7              Eb                             F
I don't need you, I don't need you like my life depended on it
       Am           Am7          Am
You're gone, you're gone, you're gone
   Bbm7   Eb                           Gm7         C7
It only affects me in the hours when I need you, I need you

Verse 3:
            F              Am   Am7           Am        Bb
But I don't want you, I do crosswords and I'm weaving a basket
        Am7            A               Dmaj7
And I'd never take you back unless you asked it

Instrumental:
Dmaj7   F#m   G    Asus4 A Asus4 A7  (x2)

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
But I don't love you, I don't love you like with whom you are livin'
Only twenty times as much and all's forgiven
If you'll just come by today
So that I can have you near forever while I say that -

Outro:
        F                 Am7               Bb                C
I don't need you, I don't need you, I don't need you, I don't need you

        F          Am    Bb      Csus4 C Csus4 C
I don't need you...

(Repeat and fade)

[This is a great song with some really nice and unusual chord changes.  Perfect to sing 
for someone who's heartbroken and needs to laugh a little bit :-)]
