GC Well, I had fallen down again, I had nowhere to go GC You had bolted your doors and closed your window GC Still a crack in your wall that I could see through GC I saw your house was empty and I rode out to meet you Pre-Chorus GC But the city was cold confusing and vast GC And the light in my soul was fading fast GC Slung towards the back streets and the alleys where the drunks fight GC I walked on past the factories in ever-dying sunlight GC I needed you GC I needed you GC I needed you, but you never came for me Instrumental GC Many years now have passed, and you've not left my mind GC And memories like photographs have faded in time GC I walked past the cafes and the nightclubs GC 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 GC My ribs are poking through and my coat is getting thin GC I needed you GC Yeah, I needed you GC You see, I needed you, oh, but you never came for me Instrumental CDGC So I walked back to where I'd once called home EmDGC But the rooms were dark and bare and the garden overgrown DGC And the door was still locked and the windows still shut EmD And the wall was still cracked GC Why did I come back? DGC And the answer so thin left me hollow within EmDGC 'Cos nothing had changed except the date and my age DGC And I still have this pain bloating my veins Dadd4 GC I needed you GC Yeah, I needed you GC You see, I needed you, but you never came for me Instrumental GC Outro GC So I turned away from my madness GC Thought I saw a light flicker by the door GCG I closed down both of my eyelids and I thought no more
