[Verse]
Am                                        F
I don't want to say I, I just want to say we.
F
We'd make a great team and teamwork is good.
Am                                     F
It's good enough for me and mediocrity is something I've been trying so hard lately to avoid.
Am
By avoiding conversations that lead to confrontation.
F
While confronting my fears of life and failing hard.
Am
While hardly making progress, progressing is a process.
F
I'm processing everything that I've been through so...

[Pre Chorus]
    Am        F
far away, far away.
F                Am           F
I've been so far away, So far away.

[Chorus]
F
Romance seems like a means to an end.
Am                          G
Maybe I don't need a lover, I just need the friend.
F
Who carried my weight when my back was sore.
Am                    G                 Am           
I don't need a lover, I don't need a lover.
F       Am                    G                 Am
I said, I don't need a lover, I don't need a lover.
F       Am                   G
I said, I don't need a lover 'cause I don't need anyone.

[Verse]
Am
And if I came back, would it be like back then?
F
Then we could get back to a place that's better than it has been.
Am                                                                   F
Lately I've been feeling like you might not like me, like I might be too late.
F
Like there might be other ladies in your limelight.
Am
Limelight, limelight, you'll get it when the time's right.
F
It's my life, my life, but romance takes the spotlight.
Am                                                                 F
Lately I've been feeling like I might not like me, like I might be too late.
F
Like it might be too late, I'm too late, I'm too late.

[Chorus]
F
Romance seems like a means to an end.
Am                          G
Maybe I don't need a lover, I just need the friend.
F
Who carried my weight when my back was sore.
Am                    G                Am
I don't need a lover, I don't need a lover.
F       Am                    G             Am   
I said, I don't need a lover, I don't need a lover.
F       Am                   G
I said, I don't need a lover 'cause I don't need anyone.
