[Verse]

G
 I don't need a lot of things
       C
 I can get by with nothin'
G
 Of all the blessings life can bring
      C
 I've always needed somethin'
Am
 But I've got all that I wanted
         Em
 When it comes to loving you
 Am
 You're my only reason
 C                   D
 You're my only truth


[Chorus]

        G        D           C           Cadd9
I need you like water, like breath, like rain
        G        D          C       Cadd9
I need you like mercy from heaven's gate
          Am              Em
There's a freedom in your arms
     C                D
That carries me through I need you

[Verse 2]

G
 You're the hope that moves me
    C
 To courage again, Oh yeah
G
 You're the love that rescues me
          C
 When the cold winds rage
Am
 And it's so amazing
            Em
 'Coz that's just how you are
Am
 And I can't turn back now
             C              D
 'Coz you've brought me too far


[Chorus]

         G        D           C           Cadd9
 I need you like water, like breath, like rain
         G        D          C       Cadd9
 I need you like mercy from heaven's gate
           Am              Em
 There's a freedom in your arms
      C                D
 That carries me through I need you

I need you like water, like breath, like rain
        G        D          C       Cadd9
I need you like mercy from heaven's gate
           Am              Em
There's a freedom in your arms
     C                D
That carries me through I need you
