I Need You chords
America 1971 (Jeff Beckley) *
F# F#maj7
We used to laugh, we used to cry,
C#m E7 A
we used to bow our heads then, wonder why
F# F#maj7
And now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on
C#m E7 A
And make the best of what you've left to me,
D B7
left to me, left to me
E C#m
I need you, like the flower needs the rain
G#m F#m7 B7
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
E C#m
You know I need you like the winter needs the spring
G#m E G#m E
You know I need you, I need you
B C#
F# F#maj7
And every day, I'd laugh the hours away
C#m E7 A
Just knowing you were thinking of me
F# F#maj7
And then it came, that I was put to blame,
C#m E7 A
for every story told about me
D B7
About me, about me
E C#m
I need you, like the flower needs the rain
G#m E
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
Amaj7 F#m7 E
You know I need you, I need you, I need you
C#m
like the winter needs the spring
G#m E
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
Amaj7 F#m7 E
You know I need you, I need you, I need you
