I need your love
  
Like coming home
 
And you don't know where you've been
 
Like black coffee
 
Like nicotine
 
I need your love I need your love
  
I need your love I need your love
  
Ooooooooo ooo I need your love (I need your love)
    
When the night has no end
  
And the day yet to begin
  
As the room spins around
  
I need your love I need your love
  
(Verses and chorus continue as above)
Like a Phoenix rising
Needs a holy tree
Like the sweet revenge TAB for what Edge plays:
Of a bitter enemy (Lots of whammy bar / = slide down)
I need your love	(I need your love)  E--4-4-4--4/3-3---/1---------------
Like the heat needs the sun
Like honey on her tongue
Like the muzzle of a gun
Like oxygen
I need your love (I need your love)
  
I need your love (I need your love)
     
I need your love (I need your love)
  
When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love I need your love Hey!
      
I need your love (I need your love)
  
I need your love (I need your love)
  
I need your love (I need your love)
   
(I need your love) (I need your love)
   
Like thunder needs rain
 
Like a preacher needs pain
 
Like tongues of flame
 
Like a sweet stain I need your love I need your love
   
Like a needle needs a vein
 
Like someone to blame
 
Like a thought unchained
 
Like a runaway train
 
I need your love I need your love I need your love
   
I need your love I need your love (I need your love)
      
I need your love (I need your love) Ow!
      
Like faith needs a doubt
Like a freeway out
I need your love
  
Like powder needs a spark
Like lies need the dark
I need your love
  
(Repeat the following at least 9 times:)
In the heart of the beat of love In the heart of the beat of love
