Intro: A   D   A   D

Verse.1:
       E
Well I used to make the fire
        D              A
Now I'm running out of flame
    F#m      E               D
The closer I get the more it rains
      A            E
And I won't change everything 
   D
To have you back again
      A          E              D
But I can't keep everything the same.

Verse.2:
     E
They say it wont get harder 
        D         A
And I'm gonna be ok
        F#m             E              D
But its just like me to go against the grain
              A            E
And while I'm tied to your shoe string
        D
And I'm breaking from the strain 
      A           E            D
Those damn things hold on like chains
            A           E            D
Yeah, those damn things hold on like chains

CHORUS:
A                  D
Was I ever really, more than ordinary
A                    D
Did you ever see me, like I saw you.
A                  D
Was I ever really, more than ordinary
A                     D               A    D
Did you ever need me, like I need you now
           A    D
I need you now

Verse.3:
E                   D               A
If I was a liar I'd have a few more friends
    F#m            E                 D
The chances are my heart would never mend
         A         E                     D
And even though my conscience would come running back again 
A              E          D
Does'nt really hurt to pretend,
       A              E       D
No, it does'nt really hurt to pretend.

CHORUS:

A                  D
Was I ever really, more than ordinary
A                    D
Did you ever see me, like I saw you.
A                  D
Was I ever really, more than ordinary
A                     D               A    D
Did you ever need me, like I need you now
           A    D
I need you now
           A    D
I need you now
           A    D
I need you now
           A    D
I need you now
           A    D
I need you now
