INTRO:      C     Dm     Bb     F   G  
CI've gotten rid of my guilt and my lGily white
And I've Amgotten used to an empty Fbed, sometimes
We used to be Cglowing
But I wouldn't be Ggoing now
If I needed Cyou
If I needed Gyou
Oh Clove, you know I could Ghold you long
But the Amholding has turned to Flean upon
And I may be Cblowing it
But I wouldn't be Ggrowing now
If I needed CyouG  
I'll Ctake this Dmspace in time
FFor what I Gneed to Csay
CSome race within the limit
DmWinning 'cause their needs are in it
BbMine have always Fgot in my Gway
But, I'll Csing along to the Glife and times
Just go Amwandering alone and learn that FI'm the guide
At least it keeps me beClieving
But I wouldn't be Gneeding now
If I needed Cyou
I wouldn't be Gbleeding now
I may be Cblowing it
But I wouldn't be Ggrowing now
I would be Clying
But I wouldn't be Gcrying now
This might be Cliving
But I wouldn't be Gdying now
I may be Amblowing it
But I wouldn't be Fgrowing now
I would be Clying
But I wouldn't be Gcrying now
If I needed CyouDm  Bb  F  G

Melanie Safka - If I Needed You

C Dm Bb F G

INTRO:

C G

I've gotten rid of my guilt and my lily white

Am F

And I've gotten used to an empty bed, sometimes

We used to be glowing

But I wouldn't be going now

If I needed you

C G

Oh love, you know I could hold you long

Am F

But the holding has turned to lean upon

And I may be blowing it

But I wouldn't be growing now

C G

If I needed you

C Dm

I'll take this space in time

F G C

For what I need to say

Some race within the limit

Winning 'cause their needs are in it

Bb F G

Mine have always got in my way

C G

But, I'll sing along to the life and times

Am F

Just go wandering alone and learn that I'm the guide

At least it keeps me believing

But I wouldn't be needing now

If I needed you

I wouldn't be bleeding now

I may be blowing it

But I wouldn't be growing now

I would be lying

But I wouldn't be crying now

This might be living

But I wouldn't be dying now

I may be blowing it

But I wouldn't be growing now

I would be lying

But I wouldn't be crying now

C Dm Bb F G
