Intro: Am C G 
 
Am                  G 
I Want you, now and forever  
..."That's why did you do it" 
 
E                           G 
I miss you, now that you've gone 
..."I'm not a type of girl to mess around with" 
 
Am                             G 
I just called to say, I really love you 
..."You should have thought of that before" 
 
E 
And girl I do regret 
 
      G 
Every single word that I said 
 
Am              F                   G 
The night is so empty without you 
 
               E                     Am 
And loneliness falling upon my mind 
 
              F                      G 
I'm trying to touch you in my dreams 
 
            E 
My heart is crying, baby 
 
Am C  G     Am 
Oooh, how I need you! 
 
... Am  C  G 
 
Am C  G     Am 
Oooh, how I need you! 
 
... Am  C  G 
 
Am                  G 
I'm waiting, every nighttime 
..."My nights have been so lonely since you've been gone" 
 
E                           G 
I'll kiss you, and hold you tight 
..."I dream about this feeling every night" 
 
Am                             G 
What I mean girl, I really changed now 
..."I'd really love to believe you" 
 
  E                           G 
I swear to you, I do! Girl, I'll never make you blue! 
 
Am              F                   G 
The night is so empty without you 
 
               E                     Am 
And loneliness falling upon my mind 
 
              F                      G 
I'm trying to touch you in my dreams 
 
            E 
My heart is crying, baby 
 
Am C  G     Am 
Oooh, how I need you! 
 
... Am  C  G 
 
Am C  G     Am 
Oooh, how I need you! 
... Am  C  G
