If I Needed You

INTRO:   C   Dm   Bb   F   G

C                                   G
I've gotten rid of my guilt and my lily white
         Am                      F
And I've gotten used to an empty bed, sometimes
              C
We used to be glowing
                  G
But I wouldn't be going now
            C
If I needed you
            G
If I needed you


   C                      G
Oh love, you know I could hold you long
        Am                    F
But the holding has turned to lean upon
             C
And I may be blowing it
                  G
But I wouldn't be growing now
            C   G
If I needed you


     C         Dm
I'll take this space in time
F          G       C
For what I need to say
C
Some race within the limit
Dm
Winning 'cause their needs are in it
Bb               F         G
Mine have always got in my way
          C                 G
But, I'll sing along to the life and times
        Am                             F
Just go wandering alone and learn that I'm the guide
                       C
At least it keeps me believing
                  G
But I wouldn't be needing now
            C
If I needed you


              G
I wouldn't be bleeding now
         C
I may be blowing it
                  G
But I wouldn't be growing now
           C
I would be lying
                  G
But I wouldn't be crying now
              C
This might be living
                  G
But I wouldn't be dying now
         Am
I may be blowing it
                  F
But I wouldn't be growing now
           C
I would be lying
                  G
But I wouldn't be crying now
            C   Dm   Bb   F   G
