G
Since the day I lost you girl
I just can't face the world
             D        G
I'm kind of feeling kind of small
Bm
I let you go one day
C      C#dim
But now I'm ashamed to say
G
I said oh baby I need you
             Em
I need your loving
C
Well I need, said I need
            G
I need you right by my side

I lost my day
I kow I must have said
A lot of things to make you cry
I made myself a lonely man
But now I have come to understand
I said oh baby I need you
I never need no one
Like I need you girl
