You know I need love (set me free why don't you babe)

{bridge:1]
F                                   C            G
You say when we broke up, you just wanna to be friends
F                                     C
But how can we still be friends, when seeing you only
          E             {let ring }
breaks my heart again?
    E7
And there ain't nothing I can do about it...

Em                D                 Bm              C

Em                    D
Get out my life why won't you babe
Em                    D
Get out my life why won't you babe
Em                    D
Get out my life why won't you babe


Em                    D                       Bm              C

E                      Bm                D               C
Cause you don't really love me, you just keep me hangin' on
E                    Bm                D               C
Now you don't really need me, you just keep me hangin' on

[bridge:]
F                                 C                   G
You say although we broke up, you still just wanna be friends
F                                     C
But how can we still be friends, when seeing you only
          E
breaks my heart again?
    E7
And there ain't nothing I can do about it...

[chorus:]
E               Bm              D                    C
Set me free why don't you babe? Get out my life, why don't you babe
E                      Bm                D               C

You claim you still care for me but your heart and soul need to be free
F                                         C                        G  Bm
And now that you've got your freedom, you want to still hold on to me
D                                 B7                   Em
You don't want me or yourself, so let me find somebody else, hey, hey



[verse:4]
E               Bm            D          C
Why doncha be a man about it, and set me free
     E                Bm              D                 C
Now, you don't care a thing about me, you're just usin' me
   E       Bm             D                   C
Go on, get out of my life and let me sleep at night

[coda:]
E               Bm              D                    C
