Just What I Needed

Words & Music:

Ric Ocasek

 

There is a transcription of this in the October 2006 issue of Guitar One.

 

E      B         C#m          G#

I don't mind you coming here, wasting all my time.

'Cause when you're standing oh, so near, I kind of lose my mind, yeah.

It's not the perfume that you wear; it's not the ribbons in your hair.

I don't mind you coming here and wasting all my time.

 

E    B    C#m  G#   E    B    C#m  A    B    E

 

I don't mind you hanging out and talking in your sleep.

It doesn't matter where you've been as long as it was deep.

You always knew to wear it well and you look so fancy, I can tell.

I don't mind you hanging out and talking in your sleep.

 

CHORUS:

E    B                 A          C#m  B E  B         A          C#m

       I guess you're just what I needed.    I needed someone to feed.

       I guess you're just what I needed.    I needed someone to bleed.

 

INSTRUMENTAL OVER:

E    B    C#m  G#   E    B    C#m  A

E    B    C#m  G#   E    B    C#m  G#
