Intro:

A  C#m  D  E

Verse 1:
A          C#m    D          E
When you say you’re weary, you sound like a girl in need
A          C#m     D          E
When you say you’re teary eyed, just let it water a seed
A          C#m          D      E
When you say you’re past your prime, reinvent yourself one more time
A          C#m      D            E
Hit the road with a bag of nails, build a house that withstands the gales and
A  C#m
Sto-o-rms
  D    E
Oh woah, oh yeah

Verse 2:

A        C#m       D         E
I have lived in darkness, but it wasn’t that bad at all
A            C#m       D         E
Coz when the light came shining through, oh what a wake up call
A           C#m   D       E
I was floating in the amniotic, all too easy, so narcotic
A            C#m          D           E
I once knew a girl who was quite erotic, but she was vacant like an empty pocket

Bridge:

C#m         D
Punch yourself with both your fists
C#m                     D
You’ll find out, you’ll find out that it’s nothing like, nothing like a kiss
C#m
It’s more like something to cross off your list
    D                C#m             D
But a girl in need has a list so long, no one can find the time to read it
    C#m            D        E
Has she ever she ever thought she really might not need it

Refrain:

E       A  C#m  D  E

E       A  C#m  D  E
Girl in need
