[Verse 1]
            G                                     Gsus G Gsus G
I'd like to say that our love is like a dead cell phone
              G                      G/A        G/B
where you can plug it back up and it comes back on,
         C
but it's more like a friend that I lost in the past

yeah I loved who you were, but I can't get that back
    G        Gsus G Gsus G
no, no
            G                              Gsus G Gsus
I'd like to sleep in the comfort of my own bed
G                        G/A           G/B
wrapped up in you like a book I've not read,
    C
but you kicked me out, now I'm sleeping alone
                                              G   Gsus G Gsus G  G/A G/B
on this old dirty couch checking my phone for you

[Chorus]
        C
I'm not talking you down
        C
I'm not chewing you out
        C
I'm not being unkind
                             G      Gsus G Gsus G  G/A G/B
I'm just saying what's on my mind
        C
I'm not shutting my mouth,
        C
I'm not talking too loud,
        C
I ain't losing my head,
                                 G
I'm just saying what needs to be said

[Verse 2]
           G                            Gsus G Gsus
I'd rather live in the corner of an overpass
       G                  G/A           G/B
in the middle of the city regretting my past,
     C
than fall for a girl with pearly white teeth

who said she had time, but spent none on me.
           G                                 Gsus G Gsus
I'd rather busk in the streets to pay for my meals,
    G                      G/A          G/B
and pick up bad habits and learn how to steal,
     C
than have a nice job but spend all my cash

on diamonds and pearls for a love that won't last,
    G    Gsus G Gsus G  G/A  G/B
no, no

[Chorus]
        C
I'm not talking you down
        C
I'm not chewing you out
        C
I'm not being unkind
                             G      Gsus G Gsus G  G/A G/B
I'm just saying what's on my mind
        C
I'm not shutting my mouth,
        C
I'm not talking too loud,
        C
I ain't losing my head,
         C
I'm just saying what needs to be said

[Instrumental]

G   G/A  G/B  G/D G/C G/B

G   G/A  G/B  G/D G/C G/B C
        What needs to be said
                         G   G/A  G/B  G/D G/C G/B C
ohhhhhh what needs to be said

[Chorus]
        C
I'm not talking you down
        C
I'm not chewing you out
        C
I'm not being unkind
                             G   G/A  G/B  G/D G/C G/B
I'm just saying what's on my mind
        C
I'm not shutting my mouth,
        C
I'm not talking too loud,
        C
I ain't losing my head,
         C                              G    Gsus G Gsus G
I'm just saying what needs to be said

[Outro]
       C
You're more like a friend that I lost in the past.

Yeah,  I loved who you were, but I can't get that back
    G
no, no
