I Need You chords
America 1971 (Jeff Beckley) *

   A                 C#m
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

    Em               
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
