"Not When I Need It" (Version 1)

From: Jake Jaffe


-Verse-:

D                 Edim     Bm
Look at you you're just as blind
A         G                G/F#     Em    A
Trying to grab your little piece of mind
        Bm      A       E
And you want to hold it near
              A         E
But you know you can't keep it
D            Edim       Bm
Say a little should suffice
A               G          G/F#      Em     A
But more than a little of you is so nice
        Bm      A      E
And you give me what I want


-Chorus-
           D                   A
Not when I need it (not when I need it)
           Bm       A          E
Not when I need it (not when I need it)
       D               A
Well I find it all the time
                D        A
But Not when I need it


-Verse (chords same as 1st half of 1st verse above)-

No two days are quite the same
I look at me life I really can't complain
And you come so easily


-chorus-

           D                   A
Not when I need it (not when I need it)
           Bm       A          E
Not when I need it (not when I need it)
       D               A
Well I find it all the time
            D-----------
Not when I need it


-bridge-

Bm            A       G
The feeling's getting out of hand
Bm          A        E
But I can't have you on demand
G                    A
I can hang onto a dream
D        Edim       Bm  (solo over verse chords)
But I can't hold it


-verse (chords as before)-

Late at night I'm filled with fear
That I can't take for granted that you'll
Always be near
And it makes me hate myself


-chorus-


           D                   A
To think I can't see it (not when I need it)
           Bm       A          E
Not when I need it (not when I need it)
       D               A
Well I find it all the time
            Bm      A          E
Not when I need it (not when I need it)
       D               D
Well I find it all the time
            D      Edim Bm A G G/F# Em A Bm A E
Not when I need it
