What You Thought You Need by Jack Johnson
What You Thought You Need
C x32010
Cadd9 x30010
Dm* x57765
Em* x79987
Listen to the song and you notice that he does a quick change between C and Cadd9 then
to C. I added it below in a few places - stodman
[Verse 1]
C Cadd9 C
I can't give you everything you want
C Dm*
But I could give you what you thought you need.
Dm* C
A map to keep beneath your seat, you'll read to me in time I'll get you there
Dm* C
I fold it up so we don't find our way back soon, nobody knows we're here.
C Cadd9 C
We can park the van and walk to town
C Dm*
Find cheapest bottle of wine that we could find
C
And talk about the road behind how getting lost is not a waste of time.
Dm*
The water moor will take us home in the moment we will sing as the forest sleeps.
[Chorus]
Em* Dm* C
Well it's all for the sake of arriving with you
Em* Dm* C
Well it's all .. for the sake of arriving with you
[Verse 2]
C Cadd9 C
Well I will make the table into a bed
C Dm*
The candle is burning down its time to rest.
Dm* C
I can't take back things already gone, but I could give you promises for keeps.
Dm* C
And I would only take them back if they become your own and you give 'em to me .
[Chorus]
Em* Dm* C
And it's all for the sake of arriving with you.
Em* Dm* C
Well it's all for the sake of arriving with you.
[Bridge]
Dm*
We could make this into anything
Dm* C
We could make this into more than words we speak.
Dm*
This could make us into anything
Dm* C
It could make us grow and become what we'll be.
[Outro]
C
Mmmmmm .. How and we will know
Dm* C
It's just like it feels... It’s just like it feels
C
Mmmmmm ... How can we really know
Dm* C
It's just like it feels... It’s just like it feels
Dm* C
It's just like it feels... How does it feel
Dm* C
It's just like it feels... It’s just like it feels
Dm* C
How does it feel... It’s just like it feels
Dm*
How does it feel...
