F
I need a bed
C
That nobody's slept in
F
I need some air
C
That nobody's been breathing
F
I need a thought
C
That I can believe in
G
Is this fog
Or is the building really burning
F
I need you now
C
Much more than ever
F
I'm making new friends
C
But none of them matter
F
Maybe now
C
We don't fit together
G
But you've got your arms around
No one but strangers
(chorus)
C
I feel fine
F
With the sun in my eyes
C
The wind in my hair
F
When I 'm falling out of this sky
C F
I'm doing better than I thought I would
C
But nothing's ever as good
F
As when you're on top
I want to wake up
And just start running
Into a ditch
Or straight up a mountain
I want to get
Where no ones's been gettin'
Make it deeper than hell
Or make it higher than heaven
I need someone whose price hasn't been met
When everybody's disappearing
By the minute
There isn't anyone left
That I haven't met yet
Well I remember
When they hadn't gotten to you yet
(chorusx2)
(bridge)
Am
Half way up
F
And over this rainbow
C
I heard a shot
G
Fire up from the ghetto
Am
As I drop
F
I didn't think you'd follow
D
Just didn't know C....F.....C.....F
The sky was this shallow

play around with those notes.
I need a garden
Where nothings forbidden
I need an apple
That no one's been eatin'
I want to start again
Back at the beginin'
I had a vision
That this feeling maybe has an ending
(Chorus)
