Intro:  C#m   A   E   B  C#m  
AI've dug up miles and miles of sand
Searching for something I can't Esee
And I've just got bruised and battered Bhands
And a brand new void inside of C#mme
Complete with walls I did create
From all the earth that I've displAaced
A mess that I have made from what
I've just let pile and pile Eup
I have not been abandoned, no I have not been
BDeserted and I have not been forgotten
C#mI need you
AI need you Ehere
I need you now
I need sBecurity somehow
C#mI need you
Like Ayou would not believe
EYou're the only thing I want
Cause you're eBverything I need
Explore the cave that is my chest
A torch reveals there's nothing left
Your whispers echo off the walls
And you can hear my distant calls
The voice of who I used to be
Screaming out "someone, someone please
Please shine a light into the black
Wade through the depths and bring me back
I have not been abandoned, no I have not been
Deserted and I have not been forgotten
I need you
I need you here
I need you now
I need security somehow
I need you
Like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
Cause you're everything I need
When my hopes seem to dangle
Somewhere just beyond my reach
You say you've heard my prayers
And read my words there on the beach
I need you
I need you here
I need you now
I need security somehow
I need you
Like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
Cause you're everything I need

Intro:

I've dug up miles and miles of sand

Searching for something I can't see

And I've just got bruised and battered hands

C#m

And a brand new void inside of me

Complete with walls I did create

From all the earth that I've displaced

A mess that I have made from what

I've just let pile and pile up

I have not been abandoned, no I have not been

Deserted and I have not been forgotten

C#m

I need you

A E

I need you here

I need you now

I need security somehow

C#m

I need you

Like you would not believe

You're the only thing I want

Cause you're everything I need

Explore the cave that is my chest

A torch reveals there's nothing left

Your whispers echo off the walls

And you can hear my distant calls

The voice of who I used to be

Screaming out "someone, someone please

Please shine a light into the black

Wade through the depths and bring me back

I have not been abandoned, no I have not been

Deserted and I have not been forgotten

I need you

I need you here

I need you now

I need security somehow

I need you

Like you would not believe

You're the only thing I want

Cause you're everything I need

When my hopes seem to dangle

Somewhere just beyond my reach

You say you've heard my prayers

And read my words there on the beach

I need you

I need you here

I need you now

I need security somehow

I need you

Like you would not believe

You're the only thing I want

Cause you're everything I need
