SONG
Capo 2nd fret
VERSE 1
Don't go jumping waterfalls,
Please keep to the lake.
People who jump waterfalls
sometimes can make mistakes.
CHORUS 1
And I need love, yeah I need love
Like a second needs an hour,
Like a raindrop needs a shower.
Yeah I need love every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away.
SOLO (see above)
| A G | Em | Bm G | A |
| A G |2/4 Em | Bm Bm/A | G |
CHORUS 2
And I need love, yeah I need love
Like a castle needs a tower,
Like a garden needs a flower.
Yeah I need love every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away.
VERSE 2
Don't go chasing polar bears,
In the great unknown.
Some big friendly polar bear
Might want to take you home.
CHORUS 3
And I need love, yeah I need love
Like a second needs an hour,
Like a raindrop needs a shower.
Yeah I need love every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away.
VERSE 3
Don't run after motor cars,
Please stay on the side.
Someone's glossy motor car
Might take you for a ride.
CHORUS 4
And I need love, yeah I need love
Like a castle needs a tower,
Like a garden needs a flower.
Yeah I need love, say I need love.
Like a raindrop needs a shower.
Like a second needs an hour,
Every minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away.
(freely)
Don't go jumping waterfalls,
Please keep to the lake.
