Chords for Luka Bloom - I Need Love (LL Cool J cover) (Live on 2 Meter Sessions)

_ There's something you're not sure of
There's something you're not sure of
_ _ [G#m] _ _ [G] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
I was asked me earlier on about being a folk singer
I suppose that I wanted [F] to find a way to prevent _ _ myself
stop myself from being labelled as a folk singer
_ _ and put into that little box that people put you into
and I thought, well, maybe I should try and learn something
that is a special challenge to me
and these songs, rap songs, usually are written with
sort of all kinds of loops and drum machines
and then a guy does his rap to the thing
whereas I had to create the band with the guitar
and then find a way to do this rap over the chords
It took me ages to do it
It was the most difficult thing I ever did
It was the most challenging song I ever learned
because it's from a completely different culture
from a completely [G] different tradition
When I'm alone in my room, sometimes I stare at the [F#m] wall
In the back of my mind, I hear my conscience [D] call
Telling me I need a girl who is as sweet as a [G] dove
For the first time in my life, I can see I need love
There I was, joking at my [D] games
So many hearts and I'm saying [F#m] their names
[D] A thought occurred, tears made my [G] eyes burn
I said to myself, look what you've done to her
I can feel it inside, I can't explain how it [D] feels
All I know is that I'll never dish another raw deal
Play and make believe, pretending that [G] I'm true
Holding in my life as I say I love you
Say no more, a whisper in your [D] ear
I say I love you and I will always be here
And though I often reminisce, I can't believe that [G] I've found
A desire for true love floating around
Inside my soul because my soul is [D] cold
Half of me deserves to be this way until I'm old
The other half needs affection [G] and joy
And the warmth created by a girl and [D] a boy, I need love _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [G] Romance, sheer delight, how [F#m] sweet
I gotta find me a girl who can make my life complete
Scratch my back, get cosy and [G] huddle
I would lay down my jacket, you could walk in a puddle
I'd give you a rose, pull out your chair before [F#m] we eat
I'd kiss you on the cheek, oh girl, you're [D] so sweet
It's deja vu whenever I'm with [G] you
I could go on forever telling you what I do
Where the hell are you, neither here nor [D] there
I swear I can't find you anywhere
You're not in my closet or under my [G] rug
And this love search, it's really making me bulk
So if you know who you are, why don't you make yourself [F#m] seen
Take a chance with my love, you'll see what I [D] mean
Fantasies can run but they cannot [G] hide
And when I find you, I will pour my [D] love inside
I need love
_ _ [F#m] _
_ _ [D] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [G] I'm gonna kiss you, hold you, never scold you
Suck on your neck, caress and [F#] hug you
[D] Cry and moan, you'll never be [G] alone
If you're standing next to me, _ can't you hear it in my voice
I need you [F#m] so bad, I've got money but love
Is something I never [F#] had
I need your ruby red lips, sweet [G] face and all
I love you more than the man who's ten feet tall
I watch the sun rise in your [F#m] eyes
So in love, when we hug, I feel [D] paralyzed
Our bodies explode in ecstasy, [G] 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 [F#m] there
This is an experience that you and me can share
Clean on soil yet sweaty [G] and wet
I swear to you, this is something I will never forget
I need love
_ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [D] _
_ I need love _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ You see [G] I've changed, I'm no longer
[F#m] A playboy of the world, I need something that's [F#m] stronger
Friendship, trust, respect and [G] admiration
This whole experience is such a revelation
Taught me love and how to be a real [F#m] man
Always be considerate and do all I [F#] can
Protect you, you're my lady and you mean so [G] much
My body tingles all over at the slightest touch
Of your hand and understand I'll be frozen in [F#m] time
Until we meet face to face and you tell me you're mine
When I find you, I swear I'll be a [G] good man
I'm not gonna leave it in destiny's hands
I can't sit and wait for my princess to [F#m] arrive
Struggle and fight to keep my dream [D] alive
I'll search the world for a special [G] girl
When I find you, watch this love unfurl
_ I need [D] love
_ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
Listen to me, _ _ [D] _ _ [G]
if you're out there, please
_ _ _ [F#m] _
Make yourself seen
I _ _ [G] _
go on _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _

_ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] _ I _ _ _ need love _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ [E] I _ _ _ _
