Standard (EADGBE)

 We used to laugh, we used to cry,

we used to bow our heads then, wonder why

 And now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on

And make the best of what you've left to me,

left to me, left to me

 I need you, like the flower needs the rain

 You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again

 You know I need you like the winter needs the spring

 You know I need you, I need you

 And every day, I'd laugh the hours away

Just knowing you were thinking of me

 And then it came, that I was put to blame,

for every story told about me

 About me, about me

 I need you, like the flower needs the rain

 You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again

 You know I need you, I need you, I need you

 like the winter needs the spring

 You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again

 You know I need you, I need you, I need you
