C Em
You gave me all the love that's necessary
Am
when two people try to find themselves,
C Em
love beyond all common sense
Am
based on some sweet permanence
F
with only one
Dm G C
and baby I thought I needed you
Em
in a changing world
Dm G C
baby I thought I needed you
C
C
Wanting some to give away,
Em
important things I had to say
Am
for many days,
C Em
suddenly you came along
Am
helped me share my perfect song
F
in perfect ways,
Dm G C
and baby I thought I needed you
Em
in a changing world,
Dm G C
I thought I needed you
C
C
The closer that we drew together
Em
made our love seem like forever,
Am
naturally,
C Em
and then I heard you sing the song
Am
that I was singing all along
F
and failed to see,
Dm
baby,
G C
the thing that I most fear
Em Dm
in a changing world:
G Ab C# G
I saw you disappear
Ab C#
G C
C
Empty now and silently
Em
I face your struggle to be free
Am
to be on your own,
C Em
to grow so very carefully
Am
and suffer necessarily
F
for what I've done
Dm G C
to baby who wants to know the thing
Em
in a changing world
Dm G C
to baby who's learning how to sing
Repeat out- C Em Dm G C Em Dm G C
