G
I need a bed
D
That nobody�s slept in
G
I need some air
D
That nobody�s been breathing
G
I need a thought
D
That I can believe in
A
Is this fog
Or is the building really burning
G
I need you now
D
Much more than ever
G
I�m making new friends
D
But none of them matter
G
Maybe now
D
We don�t fit together
A
But you�ve got your arms around
No one but strangers
(chorus)
D
I feel fine
G
With the sun in my eyes
D
The wind in my hair
G
When I �m falling out of this sky
D G
I�m doing better than I thought I would
D
But nothing�s ever as good
G
As when you�re on top
I want to wake up
And just start running
Into a ditch
Or straight up a mountain
I want to get
Where no ones�s been gettin�
Make it deeper than hell
Or make it higher than heaven
I need someone whose price hasn�t been met
When everybody�s disappearing
By the minute
There isn�t anyone left
That I haven�t met yet
Well I remember
When they hadn�t gotten to you yet
(chorusx2)
(bridge)
Bm
Half way up
G
And over this rainbow
D
I heard a shot
A
Fire up from the ghetto
Bm
As I drop
G
I didn�t think you�d follow
E
Just didn�t know D....G.....D.....G
The sky was this shallow

play around with those notes.
I need a garden
Where nothings forbidden
I need an apple
That no one�s been eatin�
I want to start again
Back at the beginin�
I had a vision
That this feeling maybe has an ending
(Chorus)
