INTRO: Em | D | Am | C D
verse 1
Em D
I don't need protection from a Hollywood religion
Am
From a god that doesn't reach me
C D
Or a shaman who can teach me
Em D
I don't need illusions in a world of mass confusion
Am
Or a beauty that is skin deep
C D
In a moment that is fleeting
Pre-Chorus 1
Am C
I don't find the answers in a laundry list of lovers
F C
You can try so hard, but then what you want
D
Is never really what you need
[Refrão]

But I need you to make it all worthwhile
C Em D
I need you to turn these lips into a smi~~le
C Em
I need you to make the bitter taste so sweet
C Bm D Em
I need you to fill the spaces in between Ohh
D | Am | C D
verse 2
Em D
I don't need permission or a state of absolution
Am
Or a savior who forgives me
C D
Or a faith to convince me
Em D
I don't need instructions or a power of seduction
Am
I have tasted all the glory
C D
But it did nothing for me
Pre-Chorus 2
Am C
I don't need a whirlwind of designed mass production
F C D
No more winning races or pretty faces in the room
[Refrão]
