 A        G       Em
Don't go jumping waterfalls
 Bm         G       A
Please keep to the lake
        G        Em
People who jump waterfalls
 Bm             Bm     A
Sometimes can make mistakes

Chorus:
   Em  Em7  Dmaj7 D6    Em Em7  Dmaj7
And I need love,    yeah I need love
D6      Em     Em7      Dmaj7
Like a second needs an hour
D6      Em  Em7          Dmaj7 D6
Like a raindrop needs a shower
     Em Em7  Dmaj7 D6
Yeah I need love
       Esus4
Every minute of the day
         Am 
And it wouldn't be the same
    Bm7                           E7
If you ever should decide to go away

And I need love, yeah I need love
Like a castle needs a tower
Like a garden needs a flower
Yeah I need love every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away

Don't go chasing polar bears
In the great unkown
Some big friendly polar bear
Might want to take you home

Chorus:
And I need love, yeah I need love
Like a second needs an hour
Like a raindrop needs a shower
Yeah I need love every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away

Don't run after motor cars
Please stay on the side
Someone's glossy motor car
Might take you for a ride

Chorus:
And I need love, yeah I need love
Like a castle needs a tower
Like a garden needs a flower
And I need love, said I need love
Like a raindrop needs a shower
Like a second needs an hour
Every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away

 A        G      Em
Don't go jumping waterfalls
 Bm          G       A
Please keep to the lake
