You Needed Me (ver. 2)
View chords used in this chart
(G) C Am Dm G7
I cried a tear, you wiped it dry;
Dm7 Dm7/G C
I was confused, you cleared my mind;
C C7 F
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me,
D Dm7 G
And held me up and gave me dignity --
Dm7/G G G7
Somehow you needed me.
You gave me strength to stand alone again,
To face the world out on my own again;
You put me high upon a pedestal --
So high that I could almost see eternity.
Dm7 G7 C
You needed me, you needed me.
Refrain:
Am Am+7 Am7 Am7/G
And I can't believe it's you, I can't believe it's true:
F G C C/B
I needed you, and you were there.
Am Am+7
And I'll never leave, why should I leave?
Am7 Am7/G Dm Dm+7 Dm7 G Am7 G
I'd be a fool 'cause I finally found someone who really cares
You held my hand when it was cold;
When I was lost you took me home.
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again --
You even called me "friend."
You gave me strength to stand alone again,
To face the world out on my own again;
You put me high upon a pedestal --
So high that I could almost see eternity.
You needed me, you needed me.
Coda:
Dm7 G Dm7 C
You needed me, you needed me.
