[intro] (bright acoustic guitar fingerpicking, capo on fret four) I need you baby more than an oh I need you baby more than oh I need you darling before I lose my soul [verse 1] When I met you honey I wasn't wanting But you caught my eye and I was soon longing You showed me darling what I was needing I took your word, there was no pleading [chorus] (dynamic acoustic strumming, emotional peak) You had the house, that I made a home Promised each other, never be alone Now when I call you, the lawyers on the phone She's even sorry, I'm so alone [verse 2] (tender acoustic fingerpicking) You were the one, whose roots grounded Goodbye to my friends, some were astounded We left the land, went over sea Hope of a new life just you and me [verse 3] [strained vocals] Only took a year, I planted my seed, Then you went done, a very dirty deed. I saw it darling, I saw it unfold I tell you darling, what a heavy load [chorus] (building intensity, raw and pleading) Looking back at the miles we crossed Counting up everything that I lost [outro] (fingerpicking slows down, intimate) I needed you baby more than an oh I needed you baby more than oh I needed you darling before I lost my soul [fade out]
