and held me (G7sus)up
and gave me (C)dig ni ty,
some how you (C7)need ed me.
You gave me (F)strength
to stand a (Bb)lone a gain,
to face the (C7)world,
out on my (F)own a gain.
You put me (F)high
up (F7)on a (Bb)ped e stal,
so (F)high that I can al most see e (G7)ter ni ty.
You (C7)need ed me,
you (F)need ed me.
And I (Dm)can’t be lieve it’s you, I can’t be lieve it’s true,
I (Gm7)need ed you
and you were (F)there.
And I’ll (Dm)nev er leave, why should I leave I’d be a fool,
’cause I’ve (G7)fi n’lly found some one who real ly cares.
You held my (G7)need ed me,
you (F)need ed me.
You (G7)need ed me,
you (F)need ed me.
