D
For reasons I don't know I
G
Treated you so cold
D                          G
I wish I had those times again
D
Something that you said keeps
G
Ringing in my head
D
"Someday you're gonna wanna come back and
G
You're gonna wanna treat me fine"

Chorus:
D
Everybody needs a little respect
G
Everybody needs a little time
D
Everybody needs a little respect
G
Everybody needs a little...

I watched me push you down in
Dreams I had of you
And all I remember about those days
I would run around
Thing that you'd be alright
But you lost your light along the way
And though you were right 'bbout the things I'd say
Cause if I had it back again I know I would
You know I'd treat you kind

Chorus

D/F#       Em
Everybody got to have somebody
Bm         C
Everybody got to have someone

A                       G
And all I ever wanted from this play
     A                             G
Was someone to talk to when I get down
    A                                  G
It seems you get the things you give along the way
    D/F#                              G
Now all I need is one more chance to make you
feel like hanging round

Chorus:
Everybody needs a little
Everybody needs a little
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time, time
Everybody
Everybody got to have someone
