G                              C       Dadd11
  Well, I had fallen down again, I had nowhere to go
G                     C         Dadd11
  You had bolted your doors and closed your window
G                       C                     Dadd11
  Still a crack in your wall that I could see through
  G                              C                Dadd11
I saw your house was empty and I rode out to meet you

        G                C          Dadd11
But the city was cold confusing and vast
        G                    C       Dadd11
And the light in my soul was fading fast
G                                      C                Dadd11
Slung towards the back streets and the alleys where the drunks fight
  G                               C           Dadd11
I walked on past the factories in ever-dying sunlight

  G         C  Dadd11
I needed you
  G         C  Dadd11
I needed you
  G               C         Dadd11
I needed you, but you never came for me

G                     C                  Dadd11
  Many years now have passed, and you've not left my mind
G                   C                Dadd11
  And memories like photographs have faded in time
G                   C             Dadd11
  I walked past the cafes and the nightclubs
  G                               C                 Dadd11
I walked past the beggars and the ladies with their white gloves

  G
I know it won't be long now
     C                Dadd11
It's getting near the end
   G                              C               Dadd11
My ribs are poking through and my coat is getting thin

         G   C  Dadd11
I needed you
               G   C  Dadd11
Yeah, I needed you
           G                   C         Dadd11
You see, I needed you, oh, but you never came for me

G  C  Dadd11

C                     D         G           C
  So I walked back to where I'd once called home
                   Em       D            G          C
But the rooms were dark and bare and the garden overgrown
                       D              G             C
And the door was still locked and the windows still shut
             Em    D
And the wall was still cracked
    G          C
Why did I come back?
                  D            G          C
And the answer so thin left me hollow within
             Em    D                G           C
'Cos nothing had changed except the date and my age
                      D      G          C
And I still have this pain bloating my veins
               Dadd11
Thumping in my aching brain

  G         C  Dadd11
I needed you
        G         C  Dadd11
Yeah, I needed you
           G               C         Dadd11
You see, I needed you, but you never came for me

G  C  Dadd11

G              C              Dadd11
  So I turned away from my madness
G                       C                  Dadd11
  Thought I saw a light flicker by the door
G               C                 Dadd11                        G
  I closed down both of my eyelids     and I thought no more
