I Need Mike Cifras

[Intro]
Am G F (2x)
 
[Verse 1]
Am            G    F
Mike needs a job, Mike needs a car
      Am              G              F
Pawn shop ripped him off, lost a Fender guitar
Am             G            F
Mike needs to straighten up his own life
   Am               G            F
I ain't pointing fingers though, I need Mike
 
[Verse 2]
Am      G              F
I need Mike so we can start a band
       Am             G              F
I can barely play a lick, it's like talking to him
            Am               G            F
When we're drunk you oughta hear us play make-believe
 Am               G                F
Mike's the kinda guy that don't laugh at your dreams
 
[Chorus]
F                C  G
Birds need wings
F                C  G
Weed needs rain
           Am       G          F
We need a bucket of love to a drop of pain
F                  C  G
Lovers need lovers
F                   C   G
A friend needs a friend
    Am      G        F
And I need two more fists in this fight
 
And I need Mike

[Verse 3]
         Am         G       F
We play biker bar jukebox, nine-ball pool
 Am            G          F
Back talkin', backwoods, bad boy fools
  Am               G       F
Memories of our nicotine, neon nights
   Am      G           F
Buzzed me good for a little while
 
[Chorus]
F                C  G
Birds need wings
F                C  G
Weed needs rain
           Am       G          F
We need a bucket of love to a drop of pain
F                  C  G
Lovers need lovers
F                   C   G
A friend needs a friend
    Am      G        F
And I need two more fists in this fight
 
And I need Mike

[Bridge]
        Am      G     F
Mike stopped us all dead in our tracks
   Am          G          F
Buried in the limestone, never coming back
               Am        G           F
There's still Wild Bill Cody in the brick main street
     Am         G         F
But home don't feel like home to me
 
[Chorus]
F                C  G
Birds need wings
F                C  G
Weed needs rain
           Am       G          F
We need a bucket of love to a drop of pain
F                  C  G
Lovers need lovers
F                   C   G
A friend needs a friend
    Am      G        F
And I need two more fists in this fight
          Am     G        F
I always had his back and he had mine
         Am           G        F
Yeah, I never needed nothing quite like
                Am G F
Hey, I need Mike
 
 
[Outro]
Am G F (4x)
