1. [A] We used to laugh, [Am7] we used to cry
[Em7] We used to [Dm7] bow our [G7] heads [C] then, wonder why
And [A] now youre gone, [Am7] I guess Ill carry on
[Em7] And make the [Dm7] best of [G7] what youve [C] left to me
[Fm7] Left to me, [D7] left to me

Chorus 1: I [G] need you like the [Em] flower needs the rain
You know I [Bm] need you, guess Ill [Am7] start it all again
You know I [G] need you like the [Em] winter needs the spring
You [Bm] know I need you, I need [D] you [E]

2. And [A] every day, I’d laugh the [Am7] hours away
[Em7] Just knowing [Dm7] you were [G7] thinking [C] of me
And [A] then it came that I was [Am7] put to blame
[Em7] For every [Dm7] story [G7] told about [C] me
[Fm7] About me, a-[D7] bout me

Chorus 2: I [G] need you like the [Em] flower needs the rain
You know I [Bm] need you, guess Ill [G7] start it all again
You know I [Cmaj7] need you, I [Am] need you
I [G] need you like the [Em] winter needs the spring
You know I [Bm] need you, guess Ill [G7] start it all again
You know I [Cmaj7] need you, I [Am] need you. I need [G] you
