CIf I needed you, would you come to me
Would you come to Fmaj7me for to Gease my Cpain
CIf you needed me, I would come to you
I would swim the Fmaj7sea for to Gease your Cpain

And the morning's Fmaj7born with the Glights of Clove
CAnd you’ll miss sunrise if you close your eyes
And that would Fmaj7break my Gheart in Ctwo

CIf I needed you, would you come to me
Would you come to Fmaj7me for to Gease my Cpain
CIf you needed me, I would come to you
I would swim the Fmaj7sea for to Gease your Cpain
