Em

But now I'm in town, break it down

Thinking of making a new sound

G

Playing a different show every night

In front of a new crowd

A

That's you now, ciao

Seems that life is great now

C D

See me lose focus, as I sing to you loud

Em G

I can't, no, I won't hush

A

I'll say the words that make you blush

C D

I'm gonna sing this now, ow ow

Em

See, I'm true, my songs are where my heart is

G

I'm like glue, I stick to other artists

A

I'm not you, now that would be disastrous

C

Let me sing and do my thing

D

And move to greener pastures

Em

See, I'm real, I do it all, it's all me

G

I'm not fake, don't ever call me lazy

A

I won't stay put

Give me the chance to be free

C

Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me

[Chorus]

Em G

Cause you need me, man, I don't need you

A

You need me, man, I don't need you

C

You need me, man, I don't need you at all

D Em

You need me, man, I don't need you

Em G

You need me, man, I don't need you

A

You need me, man, I don't need you

C

You need me, man, I don't need you at all

D

You need me

Em

I sing and write my own tune

and I write my own verse

G

Hell, don't need another wordsmith

to make the tune sell?

A

Call yourself a singer-writer

You're just bluffing

C

Your name's on the credits

D

And you didn't write nothing

Em

I sing fast

I know that all my shit's cool

G

I will blast

And I didn't go to Brit School

A

I came fast with the way I act, right

C D

I can't last, if I'm smoking on a crack pipe

Em

I won't be a product of my genre

G

My mind will always be stronger than my songs are

A

Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya

C D

Always read the stories that you hear in Wikipedia

Em

And musically I'm demonstrating

G

When I perform live, feels like I am meditating

A

Times at The Enterprise when some fella filmed me

C N.C.

Young singer-writer like I'm Gabriella Cilmi

Em G

Cause you need me, man, I don't need you

A

You need me, man, I don't need you

C

You need me, man, I don't need you at all

D Em

You need me, man, I don't need you

Em G

You need me, man, I don't need you

A

You need me, man, I don't need you

C

You need me, man, I don't need you at all

D

You need me

Em

Cause with the lyrics I'll be aiming it right

G

I won't stop till my name's in lights

At stadium heights with Damien Rice

A

On red carpets, now I'm on Arabian Nights

C D

Because I'm young and all my brother's gonna give me advice

Em

Long nighter, short height and I gone hyper

G

Never be anything but a singer-songwriter

A

The game's over but now I'm on a new level

C D

Watch how I step on the track without a loop pedal

Em

People think that I'm bound to blow up

G

I've done around about a thousand shows

A

But I haven't got a house plus I live on the couch

C D

So you can be the lyrics when I'm singing them out, Wow

Em

From day one, I've been prepared

G

With V05 wax for my ginger hair

A C

So now I'm back to the sofa, giving a dose of what the future holds

D

'Cause it's another day

Em

Plus I'll keep my last name forever keep the genre pretty basic

G

Gonna be breaking into other peoples tunes when I chase it

A

And replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift

C D

Into another rappers shoes using new laces

Em

Selling CDs from my rucksack aiming for the papers

G

Selling CDs from my rucksack aiming for the majors

A

Nationwide tour with just jack, still had to get the bus back

C D

Clean cut kid without a razor for the mustache

Em

I hit back when the pen hurts me

G

I'm still a choir boy in a Fenchurch tee

A

I'm still the same as a year ago

But more people hear me though

C D

According to the MySpace and YouTube videos

Em

I'm always doing shows if I'm not I'm in the studio

G

Truly broke, never growing up call me Ruffio

A

Melody music maker

Reading all the papers

C D

They say I'm up and coming like I'm fucking in an elevator.

You need me, man, I don't need you
