Feel free to correct me!
[Verse 1]
C
She can't help me go to sleep
Am
She's only here to terrorise
C
Haunters in these darker hours
Am G
Pushing my tired mind
C
Why I ever let you go
Am
Why I had to run away
C
It's always in these darker hours
Am G
Decaying of the day
[Chorus]
F
Whoa-oa-oa
C G
I don't want you back, I want you back

[Verse 2]
C
I'm not tryna keep my feet
Am
I'm stumbling over my door
C
Running keeps my mind released
Am G
It's probably no use no more
C
'Cos I know that you left this town
Am
It's trees are running yellow drops ?
C
I always thought that I'd forget you
Am
You got it down like drugs
[Chorus]
G F
Whoa-oa-oa
C G
I don't want you back, I want you back
Am F
Whoa-oa-oa
C G

[Verse 3]
C
Wandering through city lights
Am
'Cos I know I've been here before
C
She follows me my soul on fire
Am G
Whoa whoa whoa, Whoa whoa whoa
C
So follow me into the dark
Am
I won't be coming back my dear
C
All that I can do is lie
Am G
And hope for the better year
[Chorus]
F
Oah-ohh
C G
I don't want you back, I want you back
F
Whoa-oa-oa
