Introduction:

difficulty
very easy |||||
 G                                                           C 
    Well, I had fallen down again, I had nowhere to go
 G                                         C 
    You had bolted your doors and closed your window
 G                                             C 
    Still a crack in your wall that I could see through
     G                                                           C 
I saw your house was empty and I rode out to meet you
Pre-Chorus
                 G                               C 
But the city was cold confusing and vast
                 G                                       C 
And the light in my soul was fading fast
 G                                                                           C 
Slung towards the back streets and the alleys where the drunks fight
     G                                                             C 
I walked on past the factories in ever-dying sunlight
     G                 C 
I needed you
     G                 C 
I needed you
     G                             C 
I needed you, but you never came for me
Instrumental
 G                                         C 
    Many years now have passed, and you've not left my mind
 G                                     C 
    And memories like photographs have faded in time
 G                                     C 
    I walked past the cafes and the nightclubs
     G                                                             C 
I walked past the beggars and the ladies with their white gloves
Pre-Chorus
     G 
I know it won't be long now
           C 
It's getting near the end
       G                                                           C 
My ribs are poking through and my coat is getting thin
                   G     C 
I needed you
                               G     C 
Yeah, I needed you
                       G                                     C 
You see, I needed you, oh, but you never came for me
Instrumental
 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
     G                 C 
I needed you
                 G                 C 
Yeah, I needed you
                       G                             C 
You see, I needed you, but you never came for me
Instrumental
 G   C 
Outro
 G                           C 
    So I turned away from my madness
 G                                             C 
    Thought I saw a light flicker by the door
 G                             C                                                                                    G 
    I closed down both of my eyelids         and I thought no more
