C                      G 
You wanna talk about devotion 
                        C 
You wanna talk about true love 
                      G 
After the moment of emotion 
                     C 
It’s kinda hard to keep the mood up 

                  F 
Well look into my eyes 
                      C 
And tell me what you see, darling 
                        G 
I’ve forgotten what it was in you 
  F                  C 
That put the need in me 

                             G 
Your arms were like a little paradise 
                      C 
But your arms have changed 
                             G 
And the flicker of a good love’s fire 
                   C 
Has seen brighter days 

                      F 
When we’ve said every line 
                       C 
And played out every scene 
                             G 
I’ve forgotten what it was in you 
  F                  C 
That put the need in me 

                   F 
Well honey you and I 
                      C 
We had the sweetest thing 
                        F 
And we can try and try and try 
                         C 
But somethin’ ain’t the same 

                    Dm 
Don’t look me in the eye 
                        C 
’Cause I’m the one to blame 
                             G 
I’ve forgotten what it was in you 
  F                 C 
That put the need in me 

                      F 
Who’d ever thought that I 
                        C 
Would have the guts to change 
                       F 
We could try to live a lie 
                        C 
You’d hate me just the same 

                       Dm 
Oh, honey please don’t cry 
                  C 
I’m sorry and ashamed 
                                G 
But I’ve forgotten what it was in you 
  F               C 
That put the need in me
