If I needed you - Townsen van Zandt
Capo 4

[Intro] Travis Pick Melody over G

If I needed you, would you come to me?
G
Would you come to me and ease my pain?
                  C      D       G
If you needed me, I would come to you
G
I'd swim the seas for to ease your pain
             C           D         G
 
In the night forlorn, the morning's born
G
And the morning shines with the light of love
                C               D        G
You will miss sunrise if you close your eyes
G
And that would break my heart in two
               C        D        G
 
[Interlude]
 
The lady's with me now since I showed her how
G
To lay her lily hand in mine
           C    D       G
Loop and Lil agree, she's a sight to see
G
A treasure for the poor to find
           C       D       G

If I needed you, would you come to me?
G
Would you come to me and ease my pain?
                  C      D       G
If you needed me, I would come to you
G
I'd swim the seas for to ease your pain
             C           D         G
