I Need You chords
America 1971 (Jeff Beckley) *
G Gmaj7
We used to laugh, we used to cry,
Dm F7 A#
we used to bow our heads then, wonder why
G Gmaj7
And now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on
Dm F7 A#
And make the best of what you've left to me,
D# C7
left to me, left to me
F Dm
I need you, like the flower needs the rain
Am Gm7 C7
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
F Dm
You know I need you like the winter needs the spring
Am F Am F
You know I need you, I need you
C D
G Gmaj7
And every day, I'd laugh the hours away
Dm F7 A#
Just knowing you were thinking of me
G Gmaj7
And then it came, that I was put to blame,
Dm F7 A#
for every story told about me
D# C7
About me, about me
F Dm
I need you, like the flower needs the rain
Am F
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
A#maj7 Gm7 F
You know I need you, I need you, I need you
Dm
like the winter needs the spring
Am F
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
A#maj7 Gm7 F
You know I need you, I need you, I need you
