Intro
G C Dadd4 x4
Verse 1:
G C Dadd4
Well, I had fallen down again, I had nowhere to go
G C Dadd4
You had bolted your doors and closed your window
G C Dadd4
Still a crack in your wall that I could see through
G C Dadd4
I saw your house was empty and I rode out to meet you
Pre-Chorus
G C Dadd4
But the city was cold confusing and vast
G C Dadd4
And the light in my soul was fading fast
G C Dadd4
Slung towards the back streets and the alleys where the drunks fight
G C Dadd4
I walked on past the factories in ever-dying sunlight
G C Dadd4
I needed you
G C Dadd4
I needed you
G C Dadd4
I needed you, but you never came for me
Instrumental
G C Dadd4 x2
Verse 2:
G C Dadd4
Many years now have passed, and you've not left my mind
G C Dadd4
And memories like photographs have faded in time
G C Dadd4
I walked past the cafes and the nightclubs
G C Dadd4
I walked past the beggars and the ladies with their white gloves
Pre-Chorus
G
I know it won't be long now
C Dadd4
It's getting near the end
G C Dadd4
My ribs are poking through and my coat is getting thin
G C Dadd4
I needed you
G C Dadd4
Yeah, I needed you
G C Dadd4
You see, I needed you, oh, but you never came for me

Bridge:
C D G C
So I walked back to where I'd once called home
Em D G C
But the rooms were dark and bare and the garden overgrown
D G C
And the door was still locked and the windows still shut
Em D
And the wall was still cracked
G C
Why did I come back?
D G C
And the answer so thin left me hollow within
Em D G C
'Cos nothing had changed except the date and my age
D G C
And I still have this pain bloating my veins
Dadd4
Thumping in my aching brain
G C Dadd4
I needed you
G C Dadd4
Yeah, I needed you
G C Dadd4
You see, I needed you, but you never came for me
Instrumental
G C Dadd4
Outro
G C Dadd4
So I turned away from my madness
G C Dadd4
Thought I saw a light flicker by the door
G C Dadd4 G
I closed down both of my eyelids and I thought no more
