"Not When I Need It" (Version 1)
From: Jake Jaffe
-Verse-:
D Edim Bm
Look at you you're just as blind
A G G/F# Em A
Trying to grab your little piece of mind
Bm A E
And you want to hold it near
A E
But you know you can't keep it
D Edim Bm
Say a little should suffice
A G G/F# Em A
But more than a little of you is so nice
Bm A E
And you give me what I want
-Chorus-
D A
Not when I need it (not when I need it)
Bm A E
Not when I need it (not when I need it)
D A
Well I find it all the time
D A
But Not when I need it
-Verse (chords same as 1st half of 1st verse above)-
No two days are quite the same
I look at me life I really can't complain
And you come so easily
-chorus-
D A
Not when I need it (not when I need it)
Bm A E
Not when I need it (not when I need it)
D A
Well I find it all the time
D-----------
Not when I need it
-bridge-
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/s/sweet-matthew/18855.html ]
Bm A G
The feeling's getting out of hand
Bm A E
But I can't have you on demand
G A
I can hang onto a dream
D Edim Bm (solo over verse chords)
But I can't hold it
-verse (chords as before)-
Late at night I'm filled with fear
That I can't take for granted that you'll
Always be near
And it makes me hate myself
-chorus-
D A
To think I can't see it (not when I need it)
Bm A E
Not when I need it (not when I need it)
D A
Well I find it all the time
Bm A E
Not when I need it (not when I need it)
D D
Well I find it all the time
D Edim Bm A G G/F# Em A Bm A E
Not when I need it
