Needs Collective Soul
"Needs," by Collective Soul
This is the 4th track on Collective Soul's latest effort, Dosage.
There's really not much to it. I'm sorry I'm not very good with the
names of the chords. I just figured it out by ear and I've had no
guitar instruction. Oh well.
One thing that might help a male singer whose falsetto doesn't
sound as good as Ed's is to, at the end of the song (when the
backup vocals are going "Oooo"), have another guitar player
play the backup melody (e: -7-5-3-5-3-) on his or her guitar.
Chord definitions (Tuned to Eb):
G : 320033

C-ish : 032033
Dsus/F#(?): 200233
Hold your pinky and ring finger on the third fret on the high E
and B strings (where they will stay for the entire duration of the
song) while your middle and index finger pick out the notes
on the A and low E.

All around me, I see what weakness has made
Too much tomorrow, I think I'll take all today
Am I a poison, am I a thorn in your side
Am I a picture perfect subject tonight
Chorus:
[G]I don't need nobody
E-ish
I don't need the weight
C-ish
of words to find a way
to crash on [G]through
[G]I don't need nobody
E-ish
I just need to learn
C-ish
the depth or doubt of faith
to fall i[G]nto

Here I slumber, to awaken my daze
I find convenience in this savior I save
am I a prison, am I a source of dire news
am I a picture perfect reason for you
(Chorus)
G C-ish Em-ish Dsus/F#
And in this time of substitute
It's my needs I've answered to (all the while)
And the hope that I invest
still turns to signals of distress (all the while)

(Chorus)
(Long-winded strings portion of song)
Em-ish, Dsus/F#, G, C-ish <----- (Begin the progression on the "Oooo" part)
Ooooo, you're all I need
Ooooo, when the water runs deep
Ooooo, you're all I need
Ooooo, now I cry my soul to sleep
You're all I need
You're all I need
etc.
Have fun.
