Verse

A7
If I needed someone to love,
                                   G/A
you're the one that I'd be thinking of
             A7
If I needed someone.
A7
If I had some more time to spend,
                                   G/A 
then I guess I'd be with you my friend
             A7
If I needed someone.

 Chorus

Em                 F#7
Had you come some other day 
                        Bm
then it might not have been like this 
Em              F#7              Bm     E
But you see now I'm too much in love.

Verse

A7
Carve your number on my wall and
                              G/A
maybe you will get a call from me 
             A7
If I needed someone

Guitar Solo A7 - G/A -A7 

(Repeat : Verse -Chorus-Verse)

End A7 - A
