Introduction:

difficulty
very easy |||||
 A                                                                                                     C#m 
Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
 A                                                                                                   C#m 
Reaching for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore
             A                                                       C#m 
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
                     A 
For me it happens all the time
               E                                                                           G#m 
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
 E                                                                                                   G#m 
Said I wouldn't come, but I lost all control and I need you now
               A                                                                                                       C#m 
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now
   A                                                                                                 C#m 
Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door
 A                                                                                                 C#m 
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
             A                                                       C#m 
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
                     A 
For me it happens all the time
               E                                                                                     G#m 
It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
 E                                                                                                   G#m 
Said I wouldn't come, but I lost all control and I need you now
               A                                                           C#m 
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now
                   A                                                             C#m  B 
Yes I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all
               E                                                                           G#m 
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
             E                                                                                                   G#m 
And I said I wouldn't call, but I'm a little drunk and I need you now
               A                                                                                             E 
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now
 G#m                             E 
  I just need you now
 G#m                             E           G#m     E 
  Oh baby I need you now
