Subject: CRD: Don't You Need (Melissa Etheridge)

I posted this to a.g.t late last year, but it didn't get archived at

nevada with the rest of the ME tabs I posted at that point. I hadn't

saved the file, but luckily an (ahem) extremely organized friend (hi,

Chet!) *did* save it, and sent it to me.. so I'm reposting it now.

As with all my posts, it probably could be formatted better, etc, etc,

and, no, I give no real idea of timing. But I figure if you're gonna

play this one, you've at least *heard* it once.. it's not *that*

difficult.

Don't You Need

Em7 C(9)

I had a dream late last night

Em7 C(9)

The water was running low

Em7

and my fields were on fire

C(9)

burning my sky.

Em7 C(9)

My body was moving slow

and when I awoke I tasted the sweat

A7 Em7

of desire on my mouth. And I

C(9) Em7

realized my heart had abducted my mind

C(9)

and they were last seen headed south.

Now I can't sleep, I'm so wired,

and I find myself screaming out

Baug Em7 D

Don't you need? Don't you want?

C(9)

Can't you taste it when you're alone?

Em7 D

Don't you cry? Don't you feel?

C(9)

Sometimes I wonder if you are real.

Don't you bleed? Don't you need?

instrumental 3 full bars, lyrics on 4th

Em7 C(9) Em7 C(9)

Em7

There's no quenching of thirst

C(9) Em7 C(9)

there's no relief for the hungry at heart

Em7 C(9)

And as far as you're concerned I'm just a thief

Em7 C(9)

entertaining in the dark.

But it's you that holds the cards

Now that the joker is wild.

Baug Em7 D

Don't you need? Don't you want

C(9)

Can't you taste it when you're alone?

Em7 D

Don't you cry? Don't you feel?

C(9)

Sometimes I wonder if you are real.

B7 A7 C(9)

Don't you bleed? Don't you need?

Don't you want to lay it down

C(9)

and feel your skin against the ground?

D C(9)

Don't you want to ride the storm

and then sleep inside the calm?

Don't you want to get that high?

C/E D/F#

Don't you wanna be satisfied?

Cmaj7

Well, if you don't get that from me--

B7 Em7

Don't you need?

instrumental 3 full bars

Cmaj7 Em7 Cmaj7

Em7 C(9)

I had a dream late last night

Em7 C(9)

The water was running low

Em7

and my fields were on fire,

C(9) Em7 C(9)

burning my sky. How was I to know

that I burn every night in my dreams

and only morning can set me free....

alternate bars of Em7 and C(9) to fade
