Melanie Safka - If I Needed You
INTRO: C Dm Bb F G
C G
I've gotten rid of my guilt and my lily white
Am F
And I've gotten used to an empty bed, sometimes
C
We used to be glowing
G
But I wouldn't be going now
C
If I needed you
G
If I needed you
C G
Oh love, you know I could hold you long
Am F
But the holding has turned to lean upon
C
And I may be blowing it
G
But I wouldn't be growing now
C G
If I needed you
C Dm
I'll take this space in time
F G C
For what I need to say
C
Some race within the limit
Dm
Winning 'cause their needs are in it
Bb F G
Mine have always got in my way
C G
But, I'll sing along to the life and times
Am F
Just go wandering alone and learn that I'm the guide
C
At least it keeps me believing
G
But I wouldn't be needing now
C
If I needed you
G
I wouldn't be bleeding now
C
I may be blowing it
G
But I wouldn't be growing now
C
I would be lying
G
But I wouldn't be crying now
C
This might be living
G
But I wouldn't be dying now
Am
I may be blowing it
F
But I wouldn't be growing now
C
I would be lying
G
But I wouldn't be crying now
