A#
Maybe these are stranded words
D#               A#
For I cannot complain
And the riot at the sunset
           Gm             A#
Paints the colour of the rain
                    D#
I built my days on consequence
                            F
And now nothing's ringing true
                D#
But tonight, I need you

The air, it feels like spring again
It always clears my thoughts
Like the saints become the sinners
The haves become the nots
Have I shown you enough of me?
You know yourself can be so hard to be
And tonight, I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you
Ooo
