[Intro]

C Em D6add9 G6

[Verse]

C Em D6add9 G6 C Em D6add9 G6

She changes; she changes with the weather

C Em D6add9 G6 C Em D6add9 G6

But he won't, he don't want to hear it

C Em D6add9 G6 C Em D6add9 G6

She races; she races around to catch him

C Em D6add9 G6 C Em D6add9 G6

And asks- Is it too late to talk about forever again?

[Chorus]

D Dsus4 C G

'Cause there might be another way

C G D C D G

Let me love you needlessly, needlessly

[Verse 2]

C Em D6add9 G6 C Em D6add9 G6

'Cause I worry about you all the time

C Em D6add9 G6 C Em D6add9 G6

When I hurry, it's 'cause I wish that you could slow me down

C Em D6add9 G6 C Em D6add9 G6

And show me just how good it could be

C Em D6add9 G6 C Em D6add9 G6

Just hold me, that's all I ever want now

[Chorus]

D Dsus4 C G

'Cause there might be another way

C G D C D G

Just let me love you needlessly, needlessly

I'm the lightning; you're the tree

C G

He's the evening; she's the sea

There's something more we could be

C D

But I don't know- I guess I'll never know-

C Em D6add9 G6 C Em D6add9 G6

where your love is; for - given and forgotten- and lost

[Verse 3]

C Em D6add9 G6 C Em D6add9 G6

He is accepted and remembered- then tossed

C Em D6add9 G6 C Em D6add9 G6

And you are, you are what keeps me going

C Em D6add9 G6 C Em D6add9

I'll be the only one I'm leaving behind

G6 D Dsus4 C G

Next time there might be another way

C G D C D G

Let me love you needlessly, needlessly
