   A                 Amaj7
We used to laugh, we used to cry,
Em                  G7          C
we used to bow our heads then, wonder why
     A                             Amaj7
And now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on
Em                    G7          C
And make the best of what you've left to me,
 F           D7
left to me, left to me

   G                  Em
I need you, like the flower needs the rain
            Bm                   Am7           D7
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       G Bm   G
You know I need you, I need you

And every day
I'd laugh the hours away
Just knowin' you were thinkin' of me
Then it came
That I was put to blame
For every story told about me

About me, about me

Chorus:
I need you
Like the flower needs the rain
You know, I need you
Guess I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
I need you
I need you
Like the winter needs the spring
You know, I need you
Guess I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
I need you

I need you
Like the flower needs the rain
You know, I need you
Guess I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
I need you
I need you
Like the winter needs the spring
You know, I need you

Guess I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
