Lyrics

I cried a (F)tear,

you wiped it (Bb)dry;

I was con (C7)fused,

you cleared my (F)mind.

I sold my (F)soul,

you (F7)bought it (Bb)back for me

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.
