D                             G
I never thought I’d let another touch me
              A7             D
After all the love I had for you
                        G
But I could stay alone just so long
             A7              D
And I got so lonely with you gone

Sometimes when I’m loving him I call your name
He pretends not to hear it but he has to
As time goes by he’s making me forget the pain
I’ll be all right but I’ll never be the same

Chorus:
D            G             D
He was there when I needed you
              G                  E7  A7 
Doing all the things you used to do
     D               D\C            D\B     Bb
He’s made me smile again, he’s not you but then 
D            A7            D 
He was there when I needed you

Don’t get me wrong, there’s days you’re all I think about
You won’t be back, I have to face the truth
When you left your love I couldn’t live without
And he was there when I needed you
