C Dm
It hasn’t rained, 6 months or more
C Dm
Till today, a sudden pour
C Dm Am
Now I can smell the petrichor outside

The sighing ground gives up its love
C Dm
Unto the breeze and the trees above
C Dm Am
Suddenly your phantom shoves my side
Em F G
[Refrão]G
I don’t need you

G
I don’t need you
F C Dm
But I sure I want you

Verse
C Dm
I never loved you more than when
C Dm
I turned and walked into the wind
C Dm Am
And left you leaning on an old friend of mine
C Dm
I walked straight into my head
C Dm
The hardest thing I ever did
C Dm Am
Seabirds wheeling overhead crying
Em F G
[Refrão]G
I don’t need you

I don’t need you
F C Dm
But I sure I want you
Verse
C Dm
I wish I knew the names of things
C Dm
Of trees and flowers, birds that sing
C Dm Am
You’re much better at that kinda thing than I
C Dm
And I don’t know these stars up here
C Dm
You’d fill me in if you were near
C Dm Am
You taught me petrichor, our secret sign

But I sure I want you
