::Verse #1::
         E
Well I took my car to find you
   G#m
Drove down every lane
   A
Looked in all the backyards
        F#m
Then I went back through again
E
Then I took a Greyhound
 G#m
Headed way out West
   A                       
I found some friends who knew you
          F#m
But they told me you had already left


::Pre-Chorus::
    A     E           A
Oh why do I need you so
(A)                  B
Like a cop needs a crime


::Chorus::
             E                 B                        
Well I’ve practiced in the mirror
         C#m               F#
Saying things to make my mind go clear
 A                                      B
Prayed until my knees were black and blue
        C#m       B             A                F#
And if love is a cut well it’s one that never seems to shut
  A                               B
Comes up every morning like it’s new
     A    B       E                  
And I still want you


::Verse#2::
E
I remember when we travelled up
     G#m
To see the Arctic sun
 A   
Stopped to buy you cigarettes
F#m
Came back and you were gone
E
Then I had to follow
   G#m
A trail of unpaid bills
     A
You maxed out all my credit cards
      F#m
And took all of the money from my till


::Pre-Chorus::
    A      E          A
Oh why do I need you so
(A)                          B
Like a drowning man needs a line


::Chorus::
          E              B
Well I’m burning with desire
         C#m                     F#  
Standing way too close to every fire
   A                                       B
I know I’ll pay the price when it comes due
        C#m          B         A             F#
And no matter how I try resolutions fall in record time
  A                                    B
Thoughts of your sweet smile coming through
    A    B        E
And I still want you

::Pre-Chorus Material::
    A      E          A
Oh why do I need you so
(A)                  B
Like a drunk needs wine


::Verse #3::
             E
Well there’s grey skies behind me
G#m
Thunder up ahead
    A
I’m hooked on this sensation
               F#m
And I’m easily misled
     E
And if I ever find you
    G#m
I hope I will someday
    A
I won’t waste time on clever lines
      F#m
Just smile at you and then I’ll walk away


::Pre-Chorus::
    A     E           A    
Oh why do I need you so
(A)                     B                      
Like a dying man needs time


::Chorus::
           E                  B
Well I’ve practiced in the mirror
        C#m               F#
Saying things to make my mind go clear
A                                     B
Prayed until my knees were black and blue
        C#m        B            A                        F#
And if love is a cut well it’s one that never seems to shut
 A                                B
Comes up every morning like it’s new
    A     B       C#m
And I still want you
    A     B        E
And I still want you
