I Need You
America 1971 (Jeff Beckley) *

   A                 AM7
We used to laugh, we used to cry,
Em7        Dm7     G7    C
we used to bow our heads then, wonder why
    A                        AM7
But now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on
Em7          Dm7     G7          C
And make the best of what you've left to me,
FM7         D7
left to me, left to me

Refrain:
        G                  Em
     I need you, like the flower needs the rain
                Bm                   AM7
     You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
                 G                 Em
     You know I need you like the winter needs the spring
          Bm                        D E
     You know I need you, I need you

    A                        AM7
And every day, I'd laugh the hours away
Em7          Dm7      G7       C
Just knowing you were thinking of me
    A                        AM7
And then it came, that I was put to blame,
Em7       Dm7   G7       C
for every story told about me
 FM7      D7
About me, about me


(Repeat Refrain)
