INTRO:  Em | D | Am | C D 

verse 1 
Em                             D              
I don't need protection from a Hollywood religion 
       Am 
From a god that doesn't reach me 
      C             D 
Or a shaman who can teach me 

Em                          D 
I don't need illusions in a world of mass confusion 
     Am 
Or a beauty that is skin deep 
     C              D 
In a moment that is fleeting 

Pre-Chorus 1 
Am                            C 
I don't find the answers in a laundry list of lovers 
        F                     C 
You can try so hard, but then what you want 
         D 
Is never really what you need 

 
           C                       Em 
But I need you to make it all worthwhile 
       C                        Em        D 
I need you to turn these lips into a smi~~le 
       C                      Em             
I need you to make the bitter taste so sweet 
       C                Bm         D       Em 
I need you to fill the spaces in between Ohh 

D | Am | C D 

verse 2 
Em                           D 
I don't need permission or a state of absolution 
     Am 
Or a savior who forgives me 
     C           D 
Or a faith to convince me 

Em                             D 
I don't need instructions or a power of seduction 
       Am 
I have tasted all the glory 
    C              D 
But it did nothing for me 

Pre-Chorus 2 
Am                          C 
I don't need a whirlwind of designed mass production 
        F                C                   D 
No more winning races or pretty faces in the room 


           C                       Em 
But I need you to make it all worthwhile 
       C                        Em        D 
I need you to turn these lips into a smi~~le 
       C                      Em             
I need you to make the bitter taste so sweet 
       C                        D                  Em 
I need you, darlin' to leave my sadness at the door 
        D          Am    C   D 
Hoo ooh ooh        Hoooo 
       Em   D  Am  C  D 
I need you 

           C                       Em 
But I need you to make it all worthwhile 
            C                     Em        D 
Yeah I need you to turn my lips into a smi~~le 
       C                      Em             
I need you to make the bitter taste so sweet 
       C                                  D 
I need you darlin' (need you) to fill the spaces in between 
 
     C                                  Em 
Only you(Only you)can take this tramp into your street, yeah 
     C                        Em      D 
Only you, and not some new philosophy 
     C                      Em 
Only you can resurrect this heart of mine 
            Am 
Yeah I need you darlin'(I need you) 
                  Em     D          Em   D 
And I don't wanna be without you anymo~~~re 
              Em 
Cause I need you 
            D 
Yeah I need you 
       Em 
I need you
