Need To Know Now - Howard Moss (Outside The Pale)
(E) I see you sitting there (A) hardly (E) talking
(F#m) Just staring onwards with (B) years in your (E) eyes
(E) I see you sleeping but (A) barely (E) dreaming
(F#m) What is going on behind (B) those fearful (E) cries
(F#m) I need to (B) know now, (G#m) I need to know (C#m) now (F#m) I need to (B) know before you go
(E) I see you whisper (A) but I can't (E) hear you
(F#m) I see those tears now that (B) slowly fill your (E) eyes
(E) I want to hold you (A) but I (E) can't feel you
(F#m) Then the tear drops (B) to the floor and then (E) it dries
(F#m) I need to (B) know now, (G#m) I need to know (C#m) now (F#m) I need to (B) know before you go
(E) I see you falter (A) as you (E) stand up
(F#m) I try to keep you (B) up for a short (E) while
(E) Then to the window (A) as you stare (E) out
(F#m) I see you try to hide the (B) pain behind your (E) smile
(F#m) I need to (B) know now, (G#m) I need to know (C#m) now (F#m) I need to (B) know before you go
(E) I see you lie down (B) and see you (E) breathing
(F#m) I hold your hand now if (B) only for (E) awhile
(E) If only I could (A) just let you (E) hear me
(F'm) I tell you how I felt but (B) I've missed by half a (E) mile
(F#m) I need to (B) know now, (G#m) I need to know (C#m) now (F#m) I need to (B) know before you go
(E) The things you achieved (A) in your (E) lifetime
(F#m) Is more than most could (B) wish before they (E) die
(E) It's got so quiet (A) you can hear a (E) pin drop
(F#m) All I hear is the sad (B) sound of (E) goodbye
(F#m) I need to (B) know now, (G#m) I need to know (C#m) now (F#m) I need to (B) know before you go
(E) As you leave now on (A) your final (E) journey
(F#m) Your world's so empty and (B) cold I (E) testify
(E) I wish I'd said (A) those words of (E) meaning
(F#m) Now I won't get another chance (B) I wholly (E) verify
(F#m) I need to (B) know now, (G#m) I need to know (C#m) now (F#m) I need to (B) know before you go
