Well, I had fallen down again, I had nowhere to go
G
C
You had bolted your doors and closed your window
G
C
Still a crack in your wall that I could see through
G
C
I saw your house was empty and I rode out to meet you
Pre-Chorus
G
C
But the city was cold confusing and vast
G
C
And the light in my soul was fading fast
G
C
Slung towards the back streets and the alleys where the drunks fight
G
C
I walked on past the factories in ever-dying sunlight
G
C
I needed you
G
C
I needed you
G
C
I needed you, but you never came for me

G
C
Many years now have passed, and you've not left my mind
G
C
And memories like photographs have faded in time
G
C
I walked past the cafes and the nightclubs
G
C
I walked past the beggars and the ladies with their white gloves
Pre-Chorus
G
I know it won't be long now
C
It's getting near the end
G
C
My ribs are poking through and my coat is getting thin
G
C
I needed you
G
C
Yeah, I needed you
G
C
You see, I needed you, oh, but you never came for me

G

So I walked back to where I'd once called home
Em
D
G
C
But the rooms were dark and bare and the garden overgrown
D
G
C
And the door was still locked and the windows still shut
Em
D
And the wall was still cracked
G
C
Why did I come back?
D
G
C
And the answer so thin left me hollow within
Em
D
G
C
'Cos nothing had changed except the date and my age
D
G
C
And I still have this pain bloating my veins

G
C
I needed you
G
C
Yeah, I needed you
G
C
You see, I needed you, but you never came for me

Outro
G
C
So I turned away from my madness
G
C
Thought I saw a light flicker by the door
G
C
G
I closed down both of my eyelids and I thought no more
