C# 
The sun has blessed 
The rays are gone                                  Bm 
And all the kids have left their tears and gone home 

Bm 
Sweet 17, sour 29 
And I can't explain myself 
                    G#m 
What I'd hoped to find 
F#                Fm 
   You're all so kind 
                C# 
Without her here 

C#      D#m         Bm 
Maybe I need you around 
C#      D#m         Bm 
Maybe I need you around 
C#      D#m 
Maybe I need you 
C#      D#m              Bm 
Maybe I need you all right now 
C#      D#m         Bm 
Maybe I need you around 

Bm 
I had no luck 
I had no shame                     G#m 
I had no cause, just 17 days of rain 
Bm 
And you in my eyes 

C# 
Just one more song to slay this earth 
And I can't explain myself 
                 Bm 
Just what it's worth 
It's all I had, but not all I need 
                                         F# 
And I can't escape the fact that I still bleed 
               Fm 
It's all to steep 
              C# 
Without her here 

C#      D#m         Bm 
Baby I need you around 
C#      D#m         Bm 
Baby I need you around 
C#      D#m         Bm 
Baby I need you around 

Bm 
I had no voice 
I had no drive 
I had no choice 
I had no crime 
I had myself 
I had my band 
I had my love 
                G#m         Dm       Bm 
Had no hand in watching it all fall apart 

C#      D#m         Bm 
Maybe I need you around 
C#      D#m         Bm 
Maybe I need you around 
C#      D#m 
Maybe I need you 
C#      D#m              Bm 
Maybe I need you all right now 
C#      D#m         Bm 
Maybe I need you around
