D G D G Em A [Verse] D G D G Time and time again I've felt these walls of plaster closing in D G And more than once I've felt that lonely, lonely feeling D G Wondering why I ain't where I've been D G Just about the time I think I can't hold on Em G A You're always there to keep me hanging on And I said [Chorus] D G I never knew how much a man needed a woman D G I never knew how much a boy needed a girl D G Em A I never knew how much I needed you [Verse] D G Day after day I join the rat race D G Trying to make the most of it D G I keep on falling down down the ladder D G Trying to stay on top of it D G Just when I was sure nothing could get no better Em Oh I realized A I still love you more than ever [Chorus] D G I never knew how much a man needed a woman D G I never knew how much a boy needed a girl D G I never knew how much I needed you [Solo] A G A C A F G A [Verse] D G Today I watch the sun set on the freeway D G And strangled on the poison air D G But miles beyond, on the other end D G I know you'll always be waiting there D G Girl you treat me with your kindest hand Em A You're in my heart, in my mind A And I'm so glad [Chorus] D G I never knew how much a man needed a woman D G I never knew how much a boy needed a girl D G Em A G D I never knew how much I needed you
