I Don’t Need Your Love

Bb
You know I love you, boy
Dm
In every single way
Bb
Though I love you, boy
F
I'll miss you every day
Bb
Oh I love you, boy
Dm
I wish that I could stay with you
Bb                            F
And keep the life I made with you
Gm       Bb          Dm       F
And even though this feels so right
Gm          Bb       Am    A
I'm holding back the tears tonight

Dm             Bb            F
It's true I'll never be over you
Gm                    Dm     Bb              F
'Cause I have built a future in my mind with you
Gm                  Dm
And now the hope is gone
                Bb             F
There's nothing left for me to do

Gm                Bb
You know it isn't true
                  A
But I must say to you
     Bb                F     Gm  Dm
That I don't need your love, no, no
Bb                F     Gm  Dm
I don't need your love, no, no
      Bb                      F    Gm  Dm
It'll never be better than it was, no, no
Bb                    F     Gm  Dm
But I don't need your love, no, no

Bb
I've got no choice
Dm
With the King I stay alive
Bb
Never had a choice
F                         A
Been a wife twice before, just to survive
Bb
I don't have a choice
Dm
If Henry says "It's you", then it's you
Bb
No matter how I feel
F
It's what I have to do
Gm      Bb         Dm       F
But if, somehow, I had that choice
Gm         Bb        Am       A
No holding back, I'd raise my voice

                           Dm         Bb
I'd say, "Henry, yeah it's true, I'll never belong to
F
You
Gm                   Dm      Bb
'Cause I am not your toy, to enjoy till there's
            F
Something new
Gm                         Dm               Bb
As if I'm gonna give up my boy, my work, my dreams
            F
To care for you"

     Gm             Bb
"Ha, darling, get a clue"
                        A
There's nothing you can do
        Bb        F     Gm  Dm
I don't need your love, no, no
Bb                   F     Gm  Dm
No, I don't need you love, no, no
        Bb              F        Gm  Dm
There's nothing left to discuss, no, no
Bb                    F     Gm  Dm
But I don't need your love, no, no

Dm              Bb F
But I can't say that
Dm         Bb F
Not to the king
Gm         Dm
So this is goodbye
       Bb    F
All my love, Catherine

Bb
So I sent that letter to my love
Dm
Got married to the king
Bb
Became the one who survived
F
I've told you about my life
Bb
The final wife
Dm
But why should that story
Bb
Be the one I have to sing about
F
Just to win? I'm out
Gm            Bb Dm  F
That's not my story
Gm            Bb Dm  F
There's so much more

Bb
Remember that I was a writer
Dm
I wrote books and psalms and meditations
Bb
Fought for female education
F
So all my women could independently
Bb
Study scripture
Dm
I even got a woman to paint my picture
Bb
Why can't I tell that story?
F
'Cause in history
Gm              Bb Dm F
I'm fixed as one of six, And without him
Gm            Bb Dm F
I disappear, We all disappear

So we had no choice
Bb
But now it's us alone
Dm
So we've got no choice
Bb
No, we've got no choice
F
We're taking back the microphone
Bb
I'm gonna raise my voice
Dm
They always said
Bb
"We need your love"
F
But it's time for us to rise above

Gm            Bb   Dm      F
It's not what went down in history

Gm              Bb      Dm       F
But tonight I'm singing this for me

Em     C        G
Henry, yeah, I'm through
Am       Em    C        G
Too many times it's been told
Am         Em  C
And I have had enough (I have had enough)
G
Love stories to get old
Em      C               G
And you might think it's tough
Am       Em              C       G
But I've got to let your love run cold
Am           Em   C
We're taking back control (we're taking back control)
Bm
You need to know

        C         G     Am  Em
I don't need your love, no, no
C                    G     Am  Em
No, I don't need you love, no, no
        C               G        Am  Em
Can't let it get the better of us, no, no
C                     G     Am  Em
No, I don't need your love, no, no
C                 G     Am  Em
I don't need your love, no, no
        C         G     Am  Em
I don't need your love, no, no
C                     G     Am  Em
No, I don't need you love, no, no
        C         G     Am  Em
I don't need your love, no, no
C                     G     Am  Em
No, I don't need your love, no, no
C                  G
We don't need your love
