As long as (C)he (C6)needs (Cmaj7)me
I know where I (C#dim)must (Dm7)be;
I’ll cling on (Dm)stead fast (Dm7)ly
as long as (D)he (G)needs me.
As long as (C)life (C6)is (Cmaj7)long
I’ll love him right (C#dim)or (Dm7)wrong;
and some how (Dm)I’ll be (Dm7)strong
as long as (D)he (G)needs me.
As long as (C6)me.
If you are (F)lone ly then you will (C)know
when some one (Am7)needs you, you love them (G7)so.
I won’t be (C)tray (C6)his (Cmaj7)trust,
though peo ple say (C#dim)I (Dm7)must.
I’ve got to (Dm7)stay true, (D7)just
as long as (Fm6)he (G7)needs (C)me.
