C        G            Am
 If only I could just convey
F           C             G
 What has kept me for some time
C          G                Am
 But oh my thoughts have run away
F         C               G
 To a place that I can't find

[Pre-Chorus]
C        G               Am
  If only I could change myself
                      F
And I didn't need the help
   C            G
Of love to open me
C               G            Am
  But there's a reason it's so hard
                F
To do all this apart
     C                    G
From how it's supposed to be

[Chorus]
             C        G            Am
Yeah, I need you
       F           C             G
I need you
       C        G            Am
I need you
       F           C             G
I need you

[Verse 2]
C          G            Am
   Do you trust the words I say
F           C             G
 Or do you see me for my faults
C               G            Am
 Well I've been hoping for a place
F           C             G
 Where I could be the man I saw


[Pre-Chorus]
C        G               Am
  If only I could change myself
                      F
And I didn't need the help
   C            G
Of love to open me
C               G            Am
  But there's a reason it's so hard
                F
To do all this apart
     C                    G
From how it's supposed to be

[Chorus]
             C        G            Am
Yeah, I need you
       F           C             G
I need you
       C        G            Am
I need you
       F           C             G
I need you

[Pre-Chorus]
C        G               Am
  If only I could change myself
                      F
And I didn't need the help
   C            G
Of love to open me
C               G            Am
  But there's a reason it's so hard
                F
To do all this apart
     C                    G
From how it's supposed to be

[Chorus]
             C        G            Am
Yeah, I need you
       F           C             G
I need you
       C        G            Am
I need you
       F           C             G
I need you
