Intro: Em

Verse 1:
 Em
 So, you know how people are. When it's all gone much too far

The way their minds are made. Still, there's something you should know

That I could not let show that fear of letting go
 DEm
And in this moment, I need to be needed
 DEm
With this darkness all around me, I like to be liked
 DEm
In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted
 CG
'Cause I love to be loved   
 DEm
I love to be loved
 CG
I love to be loved   
 DEm
Yes, I love to be loved

Verse 2:
 Em
 I cry the way that babies cry. The way they can't deny

the way they feel. Words, they climb all over you

'Til they uncover you from where you hide
 DEm
And in this moment, I need to be needed
 DEm
When my self-esteem is sinking, I like to be liked
 DEm
In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted
 CG
'Cause I love to be loved   
 DEm
I love to be loved
 CG
I love to be loved   
 DEm
Oh I love to be loved

Bridge:
 FAmG
 This old familiar craving
 FAmG
I've been here before, this way of behaving
 FAmGFAmG
 Don't know who the hell I'm saving anymore      
 FAmGF
 Let it pass let it go let it leave
 AmGF
From the deepest place I grieve
 AmGFAm
This time I believe  
 GFAmG
And I let go       
 FAmGFAm
 And I let go   
 GFAmG
I can let go of it      
 FAmGF
 Though it takes all the strength in me
 AmGF
And all the world can see
 AmGF
I'm losing such a central part of me
 AmG
I can let go of it
 FAmG
 You know I mean it
 FAmG
 You know that I mean it
 FAmG
 I recognize how much I've lost
 FAm
 But I cannot face the cost
 GFAmGF
'Cause I love to be loved          
 AmGFAmG
Yes I love to be loved      
 F
I love to be loved
 FAmA5
 I love to be loved
 FAmA5
 I love to be loved
 FGAmA5
 Yes I love to be loved
 AA5AA5

Note: listen to the record to get the exact timing of the chords. In the bridge-thingy,
you don't have to play Am inbetween F and G all the time to make it sound right. In the
last four or five lines the guitar changes to Am at the end of each line. I've put in
Am and A5 just for the sake of variation if you're playing an acoustic version. I don't
think it's actually on the recording.
