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
