-
GI just needed someone
DSomebody to hold
Cadd9When the bottle was empty
Cadd9and the nights grew cold
GIn my hour of darkness
DIn my time of need
Cadd9You were my angel of mercy
Cadd9And help me to believe
Em7You touched my soul
Cadd9When I was lonely
Em7You held me up
Dwhen I couldn't fly
GThere's no words could explain
DHow I feel inside
Cadd9And this I tell you
Short Solo (G, D, Em7, Cadd9)
GIn a world full of anger
Dand times gone strange
Cadd9You held me close
Cadd9You held me close to you
[G}Lay my head on your shoulder
[D}I finally let it all out
Cadd9It felt good for a moment
Cadd9Not living in a shadow of doubt
Em7But everybody needs a little something
Cadd9To pull them through
Em7I gave one for the other
Cadd9And God know that the other was you
Chorus:
GNow only time will tell
DOnly time will tell
Em7If our love is scratched in sand
Cadd9Or if it's etched in stone
GOnly time will tell
DOnly time will tell
Em7If our love will stand
Cadd9Or walk the road alone
AmMy angel of mercy
CPulled me through somehow
GI just hope you know
FI need you now
Solo
[C, F, C, F, Em7, F, G]
Em7You're the one
FThat touched my very soul
Em7The one who held on tight
DGod knows you never let go
GAngel of mercy
DIt's time we closed the door
Cadd9Put out the lights
Cadd9And burn the fire
Burn the fire inside
