G And I wanted you to need me C G and I wanted to need you C But the days they proved different: D G took action for truth G C G It's plain it wasn't in the cards for you and for me C D G 'cause you can't live off laughter and luxury G When you couldn't be loved C G you were left with feared D C G Passed admiration contempt is reared G C G Considered all the things i had with you D C G Considered all the things i had to do I wanted you to need me and I wanted to need you But the days they proved different: took action for truth It's plain it wasn't in the cards for you and for me 'cause you can't live off laughter and luxury You spin your web of sorrow and dreams Your life's a poem, or so it seems One too many drunken nights, One too many unfeathering fights I wanted you to need me and I wanted to need you But the days they proved different: took action for truth It's plain it wasn't in the cards for you and for me 'cause you can't live off laughter and luxury So move on, move in, move out There's a light that lurks in the shadows of doubt Carry on, carry in, carry out In this action is what you carry about So I found a girl who needed me and you know I need her too And it's plain that it's all in the cards for her and for me 'cause you cant live off love, laughter and luxury Yes, you can live like poppies and peonies
