I Need You
America 1971 (Jeff Beckley) *
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've left to me,
FM7 D7
left to me, left to me
Refrain:
G Em
I need you, like the flower needs the rain
Bm Am7
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
A AM7
And every day, I'd laugh the hours away
Em7 Dm7 G7 C
Just knowing you were thinking of me
A AM7
And then it came, that I was put to blame,
Em7 Dm7 G7 C
for every story told about me
FM7 D7
About me, about me
(Repeat Refrain)
