I Need You chords
America 1971 (Jeff Beckley) *
E Emaj7
We used to laugh, we used to cry,
Bm D7 G
we used to bow our heads then, wonder why
E Emaj7
And now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on
Bm D7 G
And make the best of what you've left to me,
C A7
left to me, left to me
D Bm
I need you, like the flower needs the rain
F#m Em7 A7
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
D Bm
You know I need you like the winter needs the spring
F#m D F#m D
You know I need you, I need you
A B
E Emaj7
And every day, I'd laugh the hours away
Bm D7 G
Just knowing you were thinking of me
E Emaj7
And then it came, that I was put to blame,
Bm D7 G
for every story told about me
C A7
About me, about me
D Bm
I need you, like the flower needs the rain
F#m D
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
Gmaj7 Em7 D
You know I need you, I need you, I need you
Bm
like the winter needs the spring
F#m D
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
Gmaj7 Em7 D
You know I need you, I need you, I need you
