Solo
guitar1 plays E5 D5 G5 A5 two times


I think he uses an octaver effect that doubles an octave below and he just play
the G-string

but if you haven?t got an octaver you can play it like this it?s pretty easy too

slide all notes

Lyrics:

If you could step
into my head, tell
Me would you still know me
If you woke up in my bed,
Tell me then would you hold me
Or would you simply let it lie,
Leaving me to wonder why
I can?t get you out of this head
I call mine
And I will say
Oh no I can?t let you go,
My little girl
Because you?re holding up my world,
So I need you
Your imitation of my walk
And the perfect way you talk
It?s just a couple of the million things
That I love about you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
And if I jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge,
Tell me would you still follow me
And if I made you mad today,
Tell me would you love me tomorrow?
Please
Or would you say that you don?t care,
And then leave me standing here
Like the fool who is drowning in dispair
And screamin?
Oh no I can?t let you go,
My little girl
Because you?re holding up my world,
So I need you
Your imitation of my walk
And the perfect way you talk
It?s just a couple of the million
Things that I love about you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
I?m on my own
I?m on my own
I?m on my own
Oh no I can?t let you go,
My little girl
Because you?re holding up my world,
So I need you
Your imitation of my walk
And the perfect way you talk
It?s just a couple of the million things
That I love about you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you!
