   A                 Amaj7,     Em7
We used to laugh, we used to cry,
             Dm7        G7    C
we used to bow our heads then, wonder why.
    A                           Amaj7     Em7
But now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on,
               Dm7   G7       C
and make the best of what you left to me,
Fmaj7       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 lke the winter needs the spring,
             Bm                D E
you know I need you, I need you.


    A                       Amaj7     Em7
And ev'ry day I'd laugh the hours away,
                Dm7   G7         C
Just knowing you were thinking of me,
    A                      Amaj7        Em7
And then it came that I was put to blame
          Dm7   G7        C
for ev'ry story told about me,
Fmaj7          D7
'bout me, about me.


    G                  Em
I need you like the flower needs the rain,
             Bm                 G7
you know I need you, guess I'll start it all again.
             Cmaj7       Am
You know I need you, I need you,
    G                 Em
I need you like the winter needs the spring,
             Bm                 G7
you know I need you, guess I'll start it all again.
             Cmaj7       Am
You know I need you, I need you,....(repeat chorus and fade)
