F Am
Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
F Am
Reaching for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore
F Am
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
F F
For me it happens all the time


C Em
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
C Em
Said I wouldn't come, but I lost all control and I need you now
F F F Am
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now


F Am
Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door
F Am
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
F Am
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
F F
For me it happens all the time


C Em
It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
C Em
Said I wouldn't come, but I lost all control and I need you now
F F
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now
