I Dnever thought I’d let another Gtouch me
After all the A7love I had for Dyou
But I coulGd stay alone just so long
And I got so A7lonely with you Dgone
Sometimes when I’m loving him I call your name
He pretends not to hear it but he has to
As time goes by he’s making me forget the pain
I’ll be all right but I’ll never be the same
Chorus:
DHe was there Gwhen I needed Dyou
Doing aGll the things you uE7sed A7to do
     		     DD\            CD\     B  Bb  
He’s made me smile again, he’s not you but then 
DHe was there A7when I needed Dyou
Don’t get me wrong, there’s days you’re all I think about
You won’t be back, I have to face the truth
When you left your love I couldn’t live without
And he was there when I needed you
Chorus
