Standard (EADGBE)

 I never thought I’d let another touch me

 After all the love I had for you

 But I could stay alone just so long

 And I got so lonely with you gone

Sometimes when I’m loving him I call your name

He pretends not to hear it but he has to

As time goes by he’s making me forget the pain

I’ll be all right but I’ll never be the same

Chorus

He was there when I needed you

 Doing all the things you used to do

 He’s made me smile again, he’s not you but then

He was there when I needed you

Don’t get me wrong, there’s days you’re all I think about

You won’t be back, I have to face the truth

When you left your love I couldn’t live without

And he was there when I needed you

Chorus
