[Intro] G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 [Verse 1]
G           Cadd9              G        Cadd9            G           Cadd9
Well let me tell you if you're feeling alone, instead of whining and moaning,

     G          Cadd9           G             Cadd9
Just get on the phone, tell her you're coming home.

       Am                   D
If you need her, you should be there.  

       G              Cadd9        G          Cadd9
If you scream in your sleep, or collapse in a heap,

        G         Cadd9          G              Cadd9
And spontaneously weep, then you know you're in deep.

       Am                   D            G  Cadd9  G  Cadd9
If you need her, you should be there, go home.
[Chorus]
Am                             D
  There's nothing better than affairs of the heart,

G             D/F#              Em
  To make you feel so good then tear you apart.

Am                               D             G  Cadd9
  Make up your mind and stick it out or start again.
[Verse 2]
G            Cadd9           G        Cadd9           G        Cadd9
  You can't imagine what an effort it takes, when you make a mistake,

        G           Cadd9       G             Cadd9
And you know in the wake that a heart's gonna break.

       Am                   D
If you need her, you should be there.

          G             Cadd9             G            Cadd9
If you're flummoxed and flushed, and your heartbeat is rushed,

         G          Cadd9            G           Cadd9
Then get out of the slush, tell your dog team to mush.

       Am                   D            G   Cadd9  G  Cadd9
If you need her, you should be there, go home.
[Chorus 2]
Am                       D
  If you think of her as Joan of Arc,

G               D/F#              Em
  She's burning for you, get your car out of park.

Am                       D
  If you think of her as Catherine the Great,

     G                 D/F#              Em
Then you should be the horse to help her meet her fate.

       Am                   D            G  Cadd9  G  Cadd9
If you need her, you should be there, go home.
[Bridge]
Em            D                  G  Cadd9  G  Cadd9
  You can't believe it, but it's true.

Em            D             G  Cadd9  G  Cadd9
  She's given everything to you.

Em           F            Am
  Now take a moment to be sure,

           Cm             G  Cadd9
Before you give it all to her.
[Verse 3]
G                 Cadd9              G       Cadd9          G           Cadd9
  Well now you're thinking that it's over at last, all your woes in the past,

           G         Cadd9          G           Cadd9
But you've got to be fast, put your foot on the gas.

       Am                   D
If you need her, you should be there.

                       G         Cadd9         G        Cadd9
So now you're out from under the gun, and it's over and done,

         G            Cadd9       G        Cadd9
I won't spoil all the fun, but if you ever wonder,

       Am              D            G  Cadd9  G  Cadd9
She'll be there if you need her, go home.
[Chorus 3]
Am                      D
  If you're lucky to be one of the few,

G             D/F#         Em
  To find somebody who can tolerate you.

Am                         D
  Then I shouldn't have to tell you again,

G                D/F#             Em
  Just pack your bags and get yourself on a plane.

       Am                   D            G    D/F# Em       D
If you need her, you should be there, go home.     Come on, man!

       Am                   D            G  Cadd9  G  Cadd9  G  Cadd9  G
If you need her, you should be there, go home.

Cadd9  G
  Fuck yeah!
