C
Relatively speaking you make me who I am

C                           F
I need you exactly like the ocean needs the land

Am              Em7                F       G       C
I need you like sunshine needs the shadows and the night

Am             F                  D7             Dm7   G
I need you the way love needs the savage hurtful fight
[Verse 2]
C
Relatively speaking I'm nothing without you

C                                  F
You are where I've been before you are where I'm going to

Am             Em7               F       G      C
You are living out my dreams and you are all my fears

Am           F             D7            G
You evoke my laughter, you unleash every tear
[Bridge 1]
    Am                 Em
The rich ones need the poor ones

    F          G          C
The blind need those with sight

Am               F
Sinners need the pure of heart

    D7                  G
The black ones need the white
[Verse 3]
C
Relatively speaking the contrast makes it go

C                       F
Every action taken is related in the flow

 Am               Em7                F       G       C
Stars and losers, kings and fools go dancing hand in hand

Am           F           D7            Dm7   G
 Relatively speaking you make me who I am

    Am                 Em
The sick ones need the well ones

    F      G        C
The living need the dead

Heaven needs its hell you know

    D7                G
And love needs lonely beds
[Verse 4]

 Relatively speaking you make me who I am,    who I am
