Tom : Eb
Intro : Eb Cm Cm/Bb Bb
Verse:
Cm Ab Eb
He could see the storm clouds rollin' across the hill
Gm Cm Ab
He barely beat the rain in from the field
Eb Eb/G Ab
And between the backdoor slammin' she heard him say
Fm Bb
\"Damn this rain and damn this wasted day\"
Eb Eb/G Ab
But she's been waitin' for this day for oh so long
Eb Bb
She was standin' in the kitchen with nothin' but her apron on
Cm Cm/Bb Ab
And in disbelief he stood and he stared a while
Eb Bb
When their eyes met, they both began to smile
Ab
Somewhere other than the night
Bb Eb
She needs to hear I love you
Ab
Somewhere other than the night
Bb Eb
She needs to know you care
Cm Cm/Bb
She wants to know she's needed
Cm/A Ab
She needs to be held tight
Ab Bb Eb
Somewhere other than the night
Bridge: Eb Cm Cm/Bb Bb
Verse:
Cm Ab Eb
They spent the day wrapped up in a blanket on the fron porch swing
Gm Cm Ab
He'd come to realize he'd neglected certain things
Eb Eb/G Ab
And there are times she feels alone even by his side
Fm Bb
It was the first time she ever saw him cry
Repeat Chorus:
To know she's needed
She needs to be held tight
Somewhere other than the night
