[verse one]
 G      A         D              G       A
Don't be so scared we will not lead you on
           D                   G
like you've been doing for weeks
               A
You're selfish, and I'm sorry
D             D              G              A        
    D
When I'm gone you'll be going nowhere fast, nowhere fast, nowhere fast.

[chorus]
G                      ( A )
Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you
Bm                             ( A )
Cause I wouldn't believe you if you said the same to me
G               ( A )
Near death, last breath, and barely hanging on
Bm                   ( A )
Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?

[verse two]
G      A       D                              G
Don't be so scared to take a second for reflection
                     A                            D
to take a leave of absence to see what you're made of
G              A
So I'm selfish and you're sorry
D              D
When I'm gone you'll be going nowhere fast
G                   A             D
So who's selfish and who's sorry?

[chorus]

[after-chorus]
G                                 Bm
Someone somewhere said somethings that may have sparked some sympathy
   G               Bm                                    Em
but don't believe, don't believe a word you heard about me

Bm , C#m , E , G , A , Bm , C#m

[verse three]
G     A          D                   G
Don't be so scared, it's harder for me          x5
