"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-

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
