Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (standard tuning but half a step down)
With underlined words and underscoces I meant to indicate when the chords are strummed. The song is rather fast, so I made errors in the chord strums, which are hoped to be corrected in time.

I need love

When I'm a-lone in my room sometimes I stare at the wall
__In the back of my mind I hear my conscience call
Telling me I need a girl who is as sweet as a dove
For the first time I can see I need love

There I was joking at my games 
So many hearts and I'm saying no names
A thought occurred tears made my eyes burn
I said to myself look what you've done to her

I can feel it inside I can't explain how it feels
All I know is that I'll never dish another raw deal
Playing make believe pretending that I'm true
__Holding in my laugh as I say I love you

Say no more I whisper in your ear, I say I
love you and I will always be here     
and though I often reminisce I can't believe that I've found
Desire for true love floating around

Inside my soul because my soul is cold
__Half of me deserves to be this way until I'm old
The other half needs affection and joy
The warmth created by a girl and a boy

I need love

Romance sheer delight how sweet
I gotta find me a girl who can make my life complete
__Scratch my back get cosy and huddle
I would lay down my jacket you could walk in a puddle

I'd give you a rose pull out your chair before we eat
__Kiss you on the cheek oh girl you're so sweet
It's deja vu whenever I'm with you
I could go on forever telling you what I'd do

But where the hell are you neither here nor there
__I swear I can't find you anywhere
You're not in my closet or under my rug
And this love search is really making me bug

So if you know who you are
Why don't you make yourself seen
__Take a chance with my love you'll see what I mean
Fantasies can run but they cannot hide
And when I find you I will pour all my love inside

I need love

I'm gonna kiss you, hold you, never scold you
__Suck on your neck caress and hug you
Cry and moan you'll never be alone
__If you're standing next to me or on the phone

Can't you hear it in my voice I need you so bad
__I've got money but love is something I never had
I need your ruby red lips, sweet face and all
__I love more than the man who's ten feet tall

I watch the sunrise in your eyes
__So in love when we hug we feel paralyzed
Our bodies explode in ecstasy unreal
You're as soft as a pillow I'm as hard as steel

It's a dream I can't lie because I've never been there
__This is an experience that you and me can share
Clean, unsoiled yet sweaty and wet
__I swear to you this is something I will never forget

I need love
I need love

You see I've changed,__I'm no longer
__A playboy of the world
I need something that's stronger
Friendship, trust, respect and admiration
__This whole experience is such a revelation

Taught me love and how to be a real man
__Always be considerate and do all I can
Protect you your';re my lady and mean so much
My body tingles all over at the slightest touch

Of your hand and understand I'll be frozen in time
__Till we meet face to face and you tell me you're mine
When I find you I swear I'll be a good man
__I'm not going to leave it destiny's hands

Can't sit and wait for my princess to arrive
__Struggle and fight to keep my dream alive
I've searched the world for a special girl
__When I find you watch this love unfurl

I need love
I need love
