[G] Baby [C]I need your lovin'
[G] Baby [C]I need your lovin'
[G] Although [C]you're never near
[G] Your voice [C]I often hear
[G] Another day, [C] another night
[G] I long [C]to hold you tight

Verse 2:
Some say it's a sign of weakness
For a man to beg
Then weak I would rather be
If it means havin' you to keep
'Cause lately I've been losin' sleep

(chorus)

Bridge:
[G] [/] [/] Eve[/]ry [C]night[/] [/]I [/]call your [G]name[/][/][/][C][/][/][/]
[G] [/] [/]Some[/]times I [C]wonder, [/]girl, [/]will I [/]ever [G]be the [/]same?[/][/][C][/][/][/]

Verse 3:
When you see me smile you know
Things are just gettin' worse
Any smile you might see baby
Has all been rehearsed
Baby I can't go on without ya
This lonliness won't let me live without ya
This emptiness inside me baby
Makes me feel half alive

(repeat chorus and fade)
