[Intro]
D E7 Dm Gm A
 
[Verse 1]
D
It's takin' some time to learn
G
How much it means to earn

A love that's only asking
G
To be loved in return
D
But I turned my back on you
G
Only to find it's true
F#m7
Of all the arms that held me
G
No one holds me quite like you
D
Stay with me

Oooh, stay with me
 
[Chorus]

Baby if I ever needed you
G
I need ya now
Em7 Em
There's nothing in my life that I'm more sure of
Asus4 A
Since I've fallin' into your love
D F#m7
And I promise I'll make up
G
For all the hurt somehow
Em7
And I think it's time you knew
Asus4 A D E Em7 Em Asus4 A
If I ever needed you, I need you now
 
[Verse 2]
D
I know that I should have seen
G
To leave you alone could be
F#m7
An open invitation
G
Into someone else's dream
D
But stay with me
A
Ohh, stay with me
 
[Chorus]
D F#m7
Baby if I ever needed you
G
I need ya now

'Cause nothing in my life that I'm more sure of

For all the hurt somehow

And I think it's time you knew

If I ever needed you, I need you now

Oh the words I spoke to win your heart came easily then

Now I'm speaking from my heart
A
When I say to you again

I need ya now

And I promise I'll make up
