           F#
She said, "Every time I close my eyes
   C#/F                   G#
I feel like I could disappear.
        F#
I could overflow an ocean with
   A#m                 G#
a cavalcade of all my tears.
       F#
And I know I sound dramatic,
     C#/F               G#   Fm
but that's just how it feels."
               F#
She said, "I'm holdin' to the notion that
A#m                 G#
I'll find something real."

Chorus:
                      F#     C#/F
And I just want to be wanted
                     G#
I could use a little love sometimes
                  F#      A#m
I just need to be needed
                          G#
Like to know I'm crossin' someone's mind
       Fm         F#           C#/F     G#
I just want to be someone that somebody needs
       Fm         F#          A#m          G#
I just want to be more than a drop in the sea
       Fm
I just want to be

She said, "I'm countin' up my karma and
I think it's time to cash it in (Cash it in)
So tired of livin' in a shadow of
a mountain of what might've been
(Might've been)
And I know I sound dramatic,
but that's just how it feels
I've been looking for somebody
to tell me that I'm real"

Chorus:
                  F#      C#/F
I just want to be wanted (oh)
                     G#              Fm
I could use a little love sometimes
                  F#      A#m
I just need to be needed (oh)
                          G#              Fm
Like to know I'm crossin' someone's mind
       Fm         F#           C#/F     G#
I just want to be someone that somebody needs
       Fm         F#          A#m          G#
I just want to be more than a drop in the sea
       Fm         F#      C#/F G#
I just want to be wanted
        Fm         F#     C#/F G#
We just want to be wanted

       Fm         F#      C#/F
I just want to be wanted
                     G#
I could use a little love sometimes
       Fm         F#     C#/F
I just need to be needed
                          G#
Like to know I'm crossin' someone's mind
