(Capo: first fret)
Intro: C C7 F Fm C Am G F G
C
When I need you
G
Just close my eyes and I'm with you
E7 Am
And all that I so want to give you

Its only a heart beat away

When I need love
G
I hold out my hands and I touch love
E7 Am
I never knew there was so much love
G
Keeping me warm night and day
Am G
Miles and miles of empty space in between us
Am G
A telephone can't take the place of your smile
C G F
But you know I won't be traveling forever
F C F C F C Dm G
Its cold out, but hold out and do like I do
C
When I need you
G
Just close my eyes and I'm with you
E7 Am
And all that I so want to give you babe
G
Its only a heartbeat away
Am G
It's not easy when the road is your driver
Am G
Honey, that's a heavy load that we bear
C G F
But you know I wont be traveling a lifetime
F C F C F C Dm G
It's cold out but hold out and do like I do
C
Oh I need you
C
When I need you
G
I hold out my hands and I touch love

I never knew there was so much love
G
Keeping me warm night and day
C
When I need you
G
Just close my eyes and I'm with you
E7 Am
And all that I so want to give you

Its only a heart beat away

they was so much love keep ing me warm nite & day oh when i need you
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so wanna give you
It's only a heartbeat away
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
Miles and miles of empty space in between us
The telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I won't be travelin' forever
It's cold out, but hold out, and do like I do
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so wanna give you, babe
It's only a heartbeat away
It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey that's a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out, but hold out, and do like I do
Oh, I need you
[Instrumental Interlude]
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
When I need you
I just close my eyes
And you're right here by my side
Keeping me warm night and day
I just hold out my hands
I just hold out my hand
And I'm with you darlin'
Yes, I'm with you darlin'
All I wanna give you
It's only a heartbeat away
Oh, I need you darling
