Fm                              C#maj7    Csus4
So I find a reason to shave my legs each single
 C
morning.
Fm
So I count on someone Friday nights to take me
            C#maj7
dancing and then
    Csus4     C
to church on Sundays.
   A#m7       D#         A#m7             D#
To plan more dreams and someday think of kids
    A#m7                 D#
or maybe just to save a little money.

Chorus:
G#          D#   Fm        C#
You're the one I need. The way back home is always
long
    C#m                               G#
but if you're close to me I'm holding on.
G#          D#    Fm       C#
You're the one I need. My real life has just begun
               C#m                             G#
cause there's nothing like your smile made of sun.
Fm                    C#maj7            Csus4
In a  world full of strangers you're the one I
  C
know.

So I learned to cook and finally
lose my kitchen phobia
So I've got the arms to cuddle in when
there's a ghost or a muse
That brings insomnia
To buy more thongs
And write more happy songs
It always takes a little help from someone

Chorus - x2

G#         D#    Fm                     C#
You're the one I need. You're the one I need.
     C#m                         G#
With you my real life has just begun.
           D#    Fm                     C#
You're the one I need. You're the one I need.
              C#m                             G#
Cause there’s nothing like your smile made of sun.
        D#        Fm                      C#
Nothing like your love, nothing like your love.
C#m                      G#
Ooooh. Nothing like your love.
