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)
