we used to laugh , we used to cry ,
Em G7 C
we used to bow our heads then , wonder why
A C#m
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 Em
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

D E

A C#m
and every day , i’d laugh the hours away
Em G7 C
just knowing you were thinking of me
A C#m
and then it came , that i was put to blame ,
Em G7 C
for every story told about me
F D7
about me , about me

G Em
i need you , like the flower needs the rain
Bm Em
you know i need you , guess i’ll start it all again
Bm Em G
you know i need you , i need you , i need you

like the winter needs the spring
Bm Em
you know i need you , guess i’ll start it all again
Bm Em G
you know i need you , i need you , i need you
