Intro
[A]
Verse 1
[Bm7] [E7]
He needs me
[A]
He doesn't know it
[F#m7]
But he needs me
[Bm7] [E7]
And so no matter where he goes
[A] [F#m] [E7]
Though he doesn't care
[F#] [Bm]
He knows that I'm there
Verse 2
[Bm7] [E7]
He needs me
[A]
I oughta leave him
[F#m7]
But he needs me
[Bm7] [E7]
I know that I ain't very bright
[A] [F#m7] [Bm7]
Just to tag along
[E7] [B7]
Oh, but right or wrong
[G7] [F#7] [B7]
I'm his... And I'm here
Verse 3
[G#m7]
And I'm gonna be his friend
[G7]
Or his lover
[E7] [A]
Cause my one ambition is
[F#7] [Bm7]
To wake him and make him discover that
[E]
He needs me
[E7] [A] [F#m7]
I've got to follow where he leads me
[F#m7]
Or else he'll never know
[Bm7] [E7] [C#m7] [F#7]
That I need him
[Bm7] [E7] [F#]
Just as he needs me
