Lyrics

I had a dream the oth er (F)night,

a bout how we on ly get one (Dm)life.

Woke me up right af ter two, stayed a wake and stared at (Csus4)you so I would n’t lose my (F)mind.

And I had the week that came from hell,

and yes I know that you could (Dm)tell.

But you’re like the net un der the ledge when I go fly ing off the edge you go fly ing off as (F)well.

And if we’re (Dm)on ly here once (C)I want to live with… (F)You got some thing I need.

In this (Dm)world full of peo ple there’s one lov ing me.

And if we’re (Bb)on ly here once, (Hey!) I wan na live with you.

(you)

(you)

(you)

(F)You got some thing I need.

In this (Dm)world full of peo ple there’s one lov ing me.

And if we’re (Bb)on ly here once, (Hey!) I wan na live with you.

(you)

(you)

(you)

Last night I think I drank too (F)much,

call it our tem po rar y crutch.

With brok en words I’ve tried to say, ho ney don’t you be a if we got noth ing, we got us.

And if we’re (Dm)on ly here once, I

wan na live with...

(F)You got some thing I need.

In this (Dm)world full of peo ple, there’s one lov ing me.

And if we’re (Bb)on ly here once, (Hey!) I wan na live with you.

I know that we’re not the same,

but I’m so damn glad that we made it to this time,

And if we’re (Bb)on ly here once,

About “Something I Need

Why does the accompaniment for "Something I Need" show falling notes?
Falling Notes makes each chord visual — colored notes drop onto the keyboard so you can FEEL the rhythm of the backing before each entry. Singers find it easier to lock in with the piano's groove when they see the chord notes land instead of just hearing them.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Something I Need" by Ben Haenow in?
The backing track is in Bb at 100 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "Something I Need" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "Something I Need"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Something I Need", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Something I Need" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
Can I download the accompaniment for "Something I Need"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
