[Intro]
E
 
[Verse 1]
E          D                  C                      D
One by one, the guests arrive, the guests are coming through
E                 D   C                   D
The open-hearted many, the broken-hearted few
 
[Chorus 1]
    A                      D
And no one knows where the night is going
    A                     D
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
C
Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
E                      A
Oh..........I need you now
 
[Verse 2]
E                  D                C               D
And those who dance, begin to dance, those who weep begin
E                      D            C                   D
And "welcome, welcome" cries a voice "let all my guests come in."
 
[Chorus 2]
    A                      D
And no one knows where the night is going
    A                     D
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
C
Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
E                      A
Oh..........I need you now
 
[Verse 3]
E                    D                  C               D
And all go stumbling through that house, in lonely secrecy
E                     D          C                D
Saying "do reveal yourself", or "why has thou forsaken me? "
 
[Chorus 3]
    A                      D
And no one knows where the night is going
    A                     D
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
C
Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
E                      A
Oh..........I need you now
 
[Verse 4]
E           D                  C                     D
All at once, the torches flare, the inner door flies open
E           D                C                   D
One by one, they enter there, in every style of passion
 
[Chorus 4]
    A                      D
And no one knows where the night is going
    A                     D
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
C
Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
E                      A
Oh..........I need you now
 
[Verse 5]
E                        D            C                         D
And here they take their sweet repast, while house and grounds dissolve
E                   D              C                  D
And one by one the guests are cast, beyond the garden wall
 
[Chorus 5]
    A                      D
And no one knows where the night is going
    A                     D
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
C
Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
E                      A
Oh..........I need you now
 
[Verse 6]
E                  D                C               D
And those who dance, begin to dance, those who weep begin
E                        D         C             D
Those who earnestly are lost, are lost and lost again
 
[Chorus 6]
    A                      D
And no one knows where the night is going
    A                     D
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
C
Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
E                      A
Oh..........I need you now
 
[Verse 7] (same as 1)
E          D                             C           D
One by one, the guests arrive, the guests are coming through
E                 D    C                  D
The open-hearted many, the broken-hearted few
 
[Chorus 7]
    A                      D
And no one knows where the night is going
    A                     D
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
C
Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
E                      A
Oh..........I need you now
