Attempt to capture chords for the way Mike played this in his Wicked Man's Rest live stream on 13 June 2021: No capo to play along with the live stream. Track begins at 15:15 in the live stream (immediately after Things You've Never Done). [Intro] G C Dadd4 x4 [Verse 1]
G                              C       Dadd4
  Well, I had fallen down again, I had nowhere to go

G                     C         Dadd4
  You had bolted your doors and closed your window

G                       C                     Dadd4
  Still a crack in your wall that I could see through

  G                              C                Dadd4
I saw your house was empty and I rode out to meet you
[Pre-chorus]
        G                C          Dadd4
But the city was cold confusing and vast

        G                    C       Dadd4
And the light in my soul was fading fast

G                                      C                Dadd4
Slung towards the back streets and the alleys where the drunks fight

  G                               C           Dadd4
I walked on past the factories in ever-dying sunlight
[Chorus]
  G         C  Dadd4
I needed you

  G         C  Dadd4
I needed you

  G               C         Dadd4
I needed you, but you never came for me
[Instrumental] G C Dadd4 x2 [Verse 2]
G                     C                  Dadd4
  Many years now have passed, and you've not left my mind

G                   C                Dadd4
  And memories like photographs have faded in time

G                   C             Dadd4
  I walked past the cafes and the nightclubs

  G                               C                 Dadd4
I walked past the beggars and the ladies with their white gloves
[Pre-chorus]
  G
I know it won't be long now

     C                Dadd4
It's getting near the end

   G                              C               Dadd4
My ribs are poking through and my coat is getting thin
[Chorus]
         G   C  Dadd4
I needed you

               G   C  Dadd4
Yeah, I needed you

           G                   C         Dadd4
You see, I needed you, oh, but you never came for me
[Instrumental] G C Dadd4 [Bridge]
C                     D         G           C
  So I walked back to where I'd once called home

                   Em       D            G          C
But the rooms were dark and bare and the garden overgrown

                       D              G             C
And the door was still locked and the windows still shut

             Em    D
And the wall was still cracked

    G          C
Why did I come back?

                  D            G          C
And the answer so thin left me hollow within

             Em    D                G           C
'Cos nothing had changed except the date and my age

                      D      G          C
And I still have this pain bloating my veins

               Dadd4
Thumping in my aching brain
[Chorus]
  G         C  Dadd4
I needed you

        G         C  Dadd4
Yeah, I needed you

           G               C         Dadd4
You see, I needed you, but you never came for me
[Instrumental] G C Dadd4 [Outro]
G              C              Dadd4
  So I turned away from my madness

G                       C                  Dadd4
  Thought I saw a light flicker by the door

G               C                 Dadd4                        G
  I closed down both of my eyelids     and I thought no more
