G         Em          C             D
I heard a note in the dark where it slipped
        G            Em          C             D
into my mind and somehow still remains.
G              Em             C             D
Time comes and goes, ebbs and flows and somehow
            G                Em        C             D
that single note still rings on and sustains.

[Chorus]
      G           D        C         D
For I need someone,
         G           D        C         D
not just anyone,
                G              Em      C      D
for when all is said and done, anyone, anyone else
is not the [Interlude] same.

[Interlude]
G         | Em         | C          | D         ||

[Verse 2]
G           Em          C           D
There was a soul in the dark and it flies
           G                Em          C             D
across the night, towards a far distant flame.
      G          Em             C             D
Cross forest and streets, every beat keeps it moving
          G            Em     C             D
towards a goal, it may never obtain.

[Chorus]
      G           D        C         D
For I need someone,
         G           D        C         D
not just anyone,
                G              Em      C      D
for when all is said and done, anyone, anyone else
is not the [Interlude] same.

[Interlude]
G         | Em         | C          | D         |
G         | Em         | C          | D         ||

[Verse 3]
G            Em          C          D
You were the hope that I kept secretly inside
    G           Em          C             D
and by my whole life it was framed.
G          Em        C           D
Some never saw or suspected that it was there
    G       Em              C             D
and I, all alone, knew your name.

[End-Chorus]
      G           D        C         D
For I need someone,
         G           D        C         D
not just anyone,
                G              Em      C      D
for when all is said and done, anyone, anyone else
           G
is not the same.
