E                     C#m
When I look into your eyes
                      B
I can see a love restrained
E                  C#m
But darling when I hold you
                           B
Don't you know I feel the same

Chorus:
C#m                   F#
Cause nothin' lasts forever
                              B
And we both know hearts can change
C#m                      F#
And it's hard to hold a candle
                      B
In the cold November rain

We've been through
this such a long, long time
Just tryna kill
the pain, ooh yeah

But lovers always come
and lovers always go
And no one's really sure who's
lettin' go today, walkin' away

If we could take the time
to lay it on the line
I could rest my head, just knowin'
that you were mine, all mine

Chorus:
So, if you want to love me
Then, darlin', don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

        E                     F#
Do you need some time on your own?
        E                   F#
Do you need some time all alone?
           E                       F#
Everybody needs some time on their own
                    E                  F#
Don't you know you need some time all alone

D#m          E              B
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
D#m         E                 C#m
When even friends seem out to harm you
D#m     E                 B
But if you could heal a broken heart
D#m       E              F#
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time on my own
Sometimes I need some time all alone
Everybody needs some time on their own
Don't you know you need some time all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, ooh yeah
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame

Chorus:
So, never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one, you're not the only one
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one, you're not the only one
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one, you're not the only one
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
