  			Intro: A Asus A7    Bm    E    D    A 

                            D  
There's Heaven, then there's somewhere else 

F#m                    Bm 
   And those that fall between 

A                      D  
  the cracks and land upon their feet 

F#m                          Bm            E    
     with the rhythms of the King. 

			   D 
But most they sway from side to side 

F#m                       Bm 
    Just to keep the story lit 

A                         D   
   and guide the rest across the rooms 

F#m                         Bm     E    A       
   the borders and the lines 



             Bm              F#m  
I don't need You                  (repeat 3 times) 

      D             A 
Like you don't need me 
                           

                     D 
Someone can wish you everything 

F#m                       Bm    
    then take all that he gives, 

A                           D 
   and tie a rope around the neck 

F#m                          Bm         E  
      of the promises he gave 
                      
                        D 
The time he takes to twist his lies 


F#m                         Bm 
    just to keep his story lit, 

A                              D     
   and you wish you would have bit your lip 

F#m                             Bm      E     A  
     then just followed him to sleep 



             Bm              F#m  
I don't need You                  (repeat 3 times) 

      D             A 
Like you don't need me

But me I sway from side to side

    just to keep this story lit, 

A                         D   
   and hold your hand across the rooms

   the borders and the lines
