🎸 Intro:

G+G C majorC Dadd4 x4


🎸 Verse 1:
G+G               C majorC    Dadd4
 Well, I had fallen down again, I had nowhere to go
G+G           C majorC     Dadd4
 You had bolted your doors and closed your window
G+G            C majorC           Dadd4
 Still a crack in your wall that I could see through
 G+G               C majorC        Dadd4
I saw your house was empty and I rode out to meet you

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
    G+G        C majorC     Dadd4
But the city was cold confusing and vast
    G+G          C majorC    Dadd4
And the light in my soul was fading fast
G+G                   C majorC        Dadd4
Slung towards the back streets and the alleys where the drunks fight
 G+G                C majorC      Dadd4
I walked on past the factories in ever-dying sunlight


🎸 Chorus:
 G+G     C majorC Dadd4
I needed you
 G+G     C majorC Dadd4
I needed you
 G+G        C majorC     Dadd4
I needed you, but you never came for me


🎸 Instrumental:
G+G C majorC Dadd4  x2


🎸 Verse 2:
G+G           C majorC         Dadd4
 Many years now have passed, and you've not left my mind
G+G          C majorC        Dadd4
 And memories like photographs have faded in time
G+G          C majorC       Dadd4
 I walked past the cafes and the nightclubs
 G+G                C majorC         Dadd4
I walked past the beggars and the ladies with their white gloves

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
 G+G
I know it won't be long now
   C majorC        Dadd4
It's getting near the end
  G+G               C majorC        Dadd4
My ribs are poking through and my coat is getting thin


🎸 Chorus:
     G+G  C majorC Dadd4
I needed you
        G+G  C majorC Dadd4
Yeah, I needed you
      G+G          C majorC     Dadd4
You see, I needed you, oh, but you never came for me


🎸 Instrumental:
G+G C majorC Dadd4


🎸 Bridge:
C majorC           D MajorD     G+G      C majorC
 So I walked back to where I'd once called home
          E minorEm    D MajorD      G+G     C majorC
But the rooms were dark and bare and the garden overgrown
            D MajorD       G+G       C majorC
And the door was still locked and the windows still shut
       E minorEm  D MajorD
And the wall was still cracked
  G+G     C majorC
Why did I come back?
         D MajorD      G+G     C majorC
And the answer so thin left me hollow within
       E minorEm  D MajorD        G+G      C majorC
'Cos nothing had changed except the date and my age
           D MajorD   G+G     C majorC
And I still have this pain bloating my veins
        Dadd4
Thumping in my aching brain


🎸 Chorus:
 G+G     C majorC Dadd4
I needed you
    G+G     C majorC Dadd4
Yeah, I needed you
      G+G        C majorC     Dadd4
You see, I needed you, but you never came for me


🎸 Instrumental:
G+G C majorC Dadd4


🎸 Outro:
G+G       C majorC       Dadd4
 So I turned away from my madness
G+G            C majorC         Dadd4
 Thought I saw a light flicker by the door
G+G        C majorC         Dadd4            G+G
 I closed down both of my eyelids   and I thought no more
