Bm
Your precious love - that means so much
will it ever stop or will I just lose touch?
G F
What I want to say - but my words just fail
Bm
Is that I need you so I can`t help myself
Like a hungry child - I just help myself
G F Faug
And when I`m all full up - I got out to play
Bm
Aw! Huh!
Bm
Lonely as the moors on a winter`s morning
Quiet as the sea on a good calm night
G F
In your tranquil shadow - I try and follow
Bm
I hear your distant shoe clicks
To the midnight beat -
I feel trapped in sorrow
In this imagery
G F Faug
But that`s how I am and why I need you so
Bm
Aw! Huh!

It`s just that I need something solid in mine
Believe me baby!
Bm
You precious love - it means so much
Will it ever stop or will I just lose touch?

And why I need you so

Aw! Huh!

Bm
If the sky fell from above
I said who`s your precious love?
If the sky fell from above
I said who`s your precious love?
If the sky fell from above
Buddy, who`s your precious love?
Bm
Huh!
