[Intro]
C   G   Am   F
[Verse 1]
C                   G       Am  F
  Open up your heart to me
C        G                   Am     F
  And say what's on your mind
E             Am      G            F           G
  I know that we have been through so much pain
E             Am       G     F                 G     G
  But I still need you in my life this time
[Chorus 1]
       C        G
I need you tonight
  Am             F
I need you right now
  C                  G
I know deep within my heart
           Am             G        F
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
                     C   G
Coz I need you tonight
[Verse 2]
C          G              Am         F
 I figured out what to say to you
C                G                     Am       F
 Sometimes the words they, they come out so wrong (oh yes they do)
E          Am        G       F
 I know in time that you will understand
E            Am   G         F           G
 That what we had is so right this time
[Chorus 2]
     C        G
I need you tonight
  Am             F
I need you right now
  C                  G
I know deep within my heart
           Am             G        F
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
[Bridge]
E                Am             G
  All those endless times we tried to make it
F                   G
  Last forever more
G                       C    G   Am
  And baby I know I neeeeeeeeeeeeeed you
    F
  Oh oh, yeah.

  It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
  D      G       A

I need you right now (It's gotta be this, it's gotta be this)
