I Need You

Words & Music:

America

 

   A                 AM7

We used to laugh, we used to cry.

Em7        Dm7     G7         C

We used to bow our heads then wonder why.

    A                             AM7

But now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on

Em7          Dm7     G7       C

And make the best of what you left to me.

FM7         D7

Left to me, left to me.

 

CHORUS:

  G                 Em

I need you like the flower needs the rain.

            Bm                    Am7           D7

You know, I need you.  Guess I'll start it all again.

            G                 Em

You know, I need you like the winter needs the spring.

            Bm                    D    E

You know, I need you.  I need you.

 

And everyday I laugh the hours away

Just knowing you were thinking of me.

And then it came that I was put to blame

For every story told about me.

About me, about me.

 

CHORUS:

G                 Em

I need you like the flower needs the rain.

            Bm                    G7

You know, I need you.  Guess I'll start it all again.

            C           Am

You know, I need you, I need you,

            G                 Em

You know, I need you like the winter needs the spring.

            Bm                    G7

You know, I need you.  Guess I'll start it all again.

            C           Am

You know, I need you, I need you,  [repeat & out]
