-INTRO-

G4 G

-VERSE-

G4
I have searched for you
G G4
In the darkness of a dozen dingy dancefloors
G G4
In countless queues of cafes in the suburbs
G G4 G
In the bedclothes of a thousand strangers bedrooms

G4
And I have yearned for you
G G4
In the airless Hubs of international airports
G G4
In the hollow hell of many hundred hotels
G G4
In the solitary stillness of the early hours
G
And I still do

-CHORUS-

C4
Sometimes the things you need
C G4 G
Are right back where you started from

-VERSE-

G4
So, fuck you, Hollywood
G G4
For teaching us that love was free and easy
G G4
For dressing all our daughters as princesses
G G4 G
For telling tales that all have happy endings

G4
And fuck you, Motley Crue
G G4
For culling us with access and with excess
G G4
For telling tales that leave out all the dark sides
G G4
For bringing out that lowest drive in everyone
G
Oh, fuck you

-CHORUS-

C4
Sometimes the things you need
C G4 G
Are right back where you started from
C4
Sometimes the things you need
C
They hang around a little while
G4 G D9/G
Then they're good and gone

-BRIDGE-

C/G D9/G
If I could just have a second try
C/G D9/G
I'd take the second call you made that night
C/G
Find myself an airport, find a credit card
G
Find a flight or something and I'd head back to the start

-CHORUS-

C4
Sometimes the things I need
C
They hang around a little while
G4 G
Then they're good and gone

C4
Sometimes the things I need
C
They hang around a little while
G4 G
Then they're good and gone

G4 G
Yes they're good and gone
