This is a fantastic song to play with a few people.
The strumming is not the hard part, it's nailing the very deep and rich vocals.
Either way, I think these chords are more accurate to the song.
Listen to the song to understand the patterns.
Also once you learn the progression for the Chorus, Verse, and Bridge you know the
progressions for the entire song.
=) Have fun!
[Intro]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
[Chorus]
G Cadd9
You never need nobody
G D
You never been alone
G Am7 (one strum)
And I try to get your affection
G D G
And all I ever do is wrong
[Verse]
G Cadd9
You could break a heart in your sleep
G D
Yeah the way you move makes a grown man weak
G Cadd9
They all knock at your door
G D
Saying please please I cant take no more
[Chorus]
(Repeat 1st Chorus)
You never need nobody
You never been alone
And I try to get your affection
And all I ever do is wrong
[Verse 2]
(Repeat)
You could calm a storm with your tone
And the way you sing makes the mocking bird hold
The grass you walk on gives way
Saying please please come back this way
[Chorus]
(Repeat)
You never need nobody
You never been alone
And I try to get your affection
And all I ever do is wrong
[Bridge]
G
(NOTE: every chord in the bridge should be strummed twice only)
Em
Give me your hardest fever
C G (open strum)
Loudest scream in the crowd
Em
Darling these good times
C D
Cant change the way I feel bout you now
(Repeat pattern)
Give me your hardest fever
Loudest scream in the crowd
And all of these good times cant change
the way I feel bout you now
[Verse 3]
Now I know you got
And the way you can drive a mad half mad
I won’t dance around you no more
Im the only one you should smile for, yeah!
[Chorus] x 2
You never need nobody
You never been alone
And I try to get your affection
And all I ever do is wrong
End on G
