Verse 1

G C

Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor

G C

Reaching for the phone ’cause I can’t fight it anymore

G C

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind

D

For me it happens all the time

Chorus

G C

It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now

G C

Said I wouldn’t call but I lost all control and I need you now

G

And I don’t know how I can do without

D

I just need you now

Verse 2

G C

Another shot of whiskey can’t stop looking at the door

G C

Wishing you’d come sweeping in the way you did before

G C

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind

D

For me it happens all the time

Chorus

G C

It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now

D

I just need you now

Bridge

Em C

Guess I’d rather hurt than feel nothing at all

It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now

G

And I don’t know how I can do without

D

I just need you now

Chorus

G C

It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now
