            D
I thought I wanted fame
Thought I wanted money
    D
To just be somebody
                  G
Thought I wanted fancy
clothes People come and
      A
go A pill to pick me up
when I'm feeling low

          D
Wanted a fast car
To drive far
   D
A big house with no
doubts And just
G
everything on demand
   A
A quick fling
A one night stand

G
This can't be what
      A
I want Cause I feel
like I'm coming undone
    Bm
The world is cruel
It teaches you
          A
That you need
all these things

Chorus:
              G  D A
I just needed you
              G  D A
I just needed you
To be happy

I thought I wanted magazines
To validate me
It didn't stop my insecurities
Or having too many friends
To lie and pretend
But I'd go to bed alone again

Why do they try
To make us feel like
We need these things to survive
Time after time?

Chorus:
I just needed you
I just needed you
I just needed you
I just needed you

G           Bm
I felt like I couldn't breathe
A
Nothing made sense to me
       G  D A G
Except you     I felt like
 Bm               A
I  couldn't see Knew
I was missing a piece
            G D A
And it was you

Chorus:
                  G  D A
Coz I just needed you
              G  D A
I just needed you
              Bm D A
I just needed you
              G  D A
I just needed you
to be happy
