                A                 Amaj7 ,      Em7 
We used to laugh, we used to cry, 
             Dm7        G7    C 
we used to bow our heads then, wonder why. 
    A                           Amaj7     Em7 
But now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on, 
               Dm7   G7       C 
and make the best of what you left to me, 
Fmaj7       D7 
left to me, left to me. 
 
    G                  Em 
I need you like the flower needs the rain, 
             Bm                 Am7               D7 
you know I need you, guess I'll start it all again. 
             G                Em 
You know I need you lke the winter needs the spring, 
             Bm                D E 
you know I need you, I need you. 
 
    A                       Amaj7     Em7 
And ev'ry day I'd laugh the hours away, 
                Dm7   G7         C 
Just knowing you were thinking of me, 
    A                      Amaj7        Em7 
And then it came that I was put to blame 
          Dm7   G7        C 
for ev'ry story told about me, 
Fmaj7          D7 
'bout me, about me. 
 
    G                  Em 
I need you like the flower needs the rain, 
             Bm                 G7 
you know I need you, guess I'll start it all again. 
             Cmaj7       Am 
You know I need you, I need you, 
    G                 Em 
I need you like the winter needs the spring, 
             Bm                 G7 
you know I need you, guess I'll start it all again. 
             Cmaj7       Am 
You know I need you, I need you,....
 
(repeat Chorus and fade)
