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


[Chorus]
  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


[Chorus]
         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


[Instrumental]
G  C  Dadd4


[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


[Chorus]
  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
