E                       A            E
Here I am, I'm in the wrong bed again
                          A
It's a game I just can't win
E                        A                 E
There you are breathing soft on my skin, yeah
                      A
Still you wont let me in
So come on
B                           A     E
Why save your kisses for a rainy day
B                              A      E
Baby let the moment take your heart away

Chorus:
         C#m          A          B
Have you ever needed someone so bad, yeah
         E                        A
Have you ever wanted someone you just couldn't have
        C#m                         A
Did you ever try so hard that your world just fell apart
         C#m          B          A
Have you ever needed someone so bad
And you're the girl I gotta have
         E
I gotta have you baby, yeah

And you're the girl I got to have
I got to have you baby, yeah, oh, come on
There you go, midnight promises again, yeah
But they're broken by the dawn
You want to go further, faster everyday, baby
But in the morning you'll be gone and I'm alone

Why save your kisses for a rainy day
Baby, let the moment take your heart away

Chorus:
Have you ever needed someone so bad, yeah
Have you ever wanted someone, you just couldn't have
Did you ever try so hard that your world just fell apart
Have you ever needed someone so bad

B
Every dream I dream is like
A
Some kinda rash 'n' reckless scene
B
To give out such crazy love
A
You must be some kind of drug
B
And if my time don't ever come
A
For me you're still the one
B
Damned if I don't, damned if I do
I gotta get a fix on you

Chorus:
Have you ever needed someone so bad, yeah
Have you ever wanted someone, you just couldn't have
Did you ever try so hard that your world just fell apart
Have you ever needed someone so bad

And you're the girl, I got to have
I got to have you baby, yeah
It's a game I just can't win, oh

Chorus:
Have you ever needed someone so bad, yeah
Have you ever wanted someone
(Have you ever wanted someone, you just couldn't have)
Did you ever try so hard that your world just fell apart
