Tabbed by Matt Morrell morrell_matt@hotmail.com


CHORUS
G         D            C             G
Lord if I ever needed someone I need you
lord if I ever needed someone I need you 

VERSE
Em                      G
To see me through the daytime
Em                         G
And through the long lonely night
Em                        G
To lead me through the darkness
C               G
And on into the light
Em                        G
To stand with me when I'm troubled
Em                       G
And help me through my strife
Em                 G
When times get so uncertain I turn to
C            G
To you in my young life 


Lord if I ever needed someone I need you
Lord if I ever needed someone I need you 

Someone to hold onto
And keep me from all fear
Someone to be my guiding light
And keep me ever dear
To keep me from my selfishness
To keep me from my sorrow
To lead me on to givingness
So I can see a new tomorrow 

Lord if I ever needed someone I need you
Lord if I ever needed someone I need you 

BRIDGE
                   D 
Someone to walk with
C                    G
Someone to hold by the hand
                 D
Someone to talk with
C             G
Someone to understand

yeah, yeah yeah

To call on when I need you
And I need you very much
To open up my arms to you
And feel your tender touch
To feel it and to keep it
Just right here in my soul
And care for it and keep it with me
Never to grow old 

Lord if I ever needed someone I need you
Lord if I ever needed someone I need you
