I saw him play live about a month ago, so I am pretty sure that this tab is right. I
know the actual names of all the chords but I tabbed them out. The whole song is played
a basic folk strum pattern with thumbing the base note. If you listen to the song, it is
to pick up. This is a great song from a greatly under-appreciated artist.

[Chorus]
C C/Am
You don't need to change
Am G7
a thing about you babe, I'm tellin'
F/G G C
you, from where I sit you are one of a kind
C C/Am
Relationships, I don't know why,
Am G7
they never work out and make you cry,
F/G G C
But the guy that says goodbye to you is out of his mind
[Verse 1]
C C/Am
I've been down and I need your help, been
Am G7
feeling sorry for myself
F/G G C
Don't hesitate to boost my confidence
C C/Am
I've been lost and I need direction,
Am G7
I could use a little love protection
F/G G C
What do you say honey, you come to my defense
I'll stand up for you if its what you need, I can
take a punch, I don't mind to bleed
As long as afterwards you feel bad for me
You give me all of your attention, I got
deep desires and it needs quenchin'
I think that's pretty plain for you to see
Well enough about me and more about you,
that'd be the gentlemanly thing to do
I hope you like your men sweet and polite
I thought I was done with telling you,
but I ain't nearly half way through
I've got a few more things that I'd like to say to you tonight
get ready...
[Chorus]
C C/Am
You don't need to change
Am G7
a thing about you babe, I'm tellin'
F/G G C
you, from where I sit you are one of a kind
C C/Am
Relationships, I don't know why,
Am G7
they never work out and make you cry,
F/G G C
But the guy that says goodbye to you is out of his mind
[Verse 2]
Well you always did kind of drive me crazy, and it
pissed me off because I let it pahse me
But I never wanted my time with you to end
Now I am back in town for a day or two, and
mostly I came back just to see you,
I'm leaving now but I don't want to go
[Chorus]
C C/Am
You don't need to change
Am G7
a thing about you babe, I'm tellin'
F/G G C
you, from where I sit you are one of a kind
C C/Am
Relationships, I don't know why,
Am G7
they never work out and make you cry,
F/G G C
But the guy that says goodbye to you is out of his mind
