Intro: G   C   G   C 

Verse.1: 
       D 
Well I used to make the fire 
        C              G 
Now I'm running out of flame 
    Em      D               C 
The closer I get the more it rains 
      G            D 
And I won't change everything 
   C 
To have you back again 
      G          D              C 
But I can't keep everything the same. 

Verse.2: 
     D 
They say it wont get harder 
        C         G 
And I'm gonna be ok 
        Em             D              C 
But its just like me to go against the grain 
              G            D 
And while I'm tied to your shoe string 
        C 
And I'm breaking from the strain 
      G           D            C 
Those damn things hold on like chains 
            G           D            C 
Yeah, those damn things hold on like chains 

CHORUS: 
G                 C 
Was I ever really, more than ordinary 
G                    C 
Did you ever see me, like I saw you. 
G                  C 
Was I ever really, more than ordinary 
G                     C               G    C 
Did you ever need me, like I need you now
           G    C 
I need you now

Verse.3: 
D                   C               G 
If I was a liar I'd have a few more friends 
    Em             D                 C 
The chances are my heart would never mend 
         G         D                     C 
And even though my conscience would come running back again 
G              D          C 
Doesn't really hurt to pretend, 
       G              D       C 
No, it doesn't really hurt to pretend. 

CHORUS: 

G                 C 
Was I ever really, more than ordinary 
G                    C 
Did you ever see me, like I saw you. 
G                  C 
Was I ever really, more than ordinary 
G                     C               G    C 
Did you ever need me, like I need you now
           G    C 
I need you now
           G    C 
I need you now
           G    C 
I need you now
           G    C 
I need you now
           G    C 
I need you now
