---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loved to be loved - Peter Gabriel ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a tab of one of the songs from Peter Gabriel's "Us"-album, since I couldn't find it anywhere. Very easy to play a great acoustic version as well! Tuning: standard 022000 032010 x00232 (or, : x00230) 320033 133211 x02210 x02200 Intro: Verse 1: So, you know how people are. When it's all gone much too far The way their minds are made. Still, there's something you should know That I could not let show that fear of letting go And in this moment, I need to be needed With this darkness all around me, I like to be liked In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted 'Cause I love to be loved I love to be loved I love to be loved Yes, I love to be loved Verse 2: I cry the way that babies cry. The way they can't deny the way they feel. Words, they climb all over you 'Til they uncover you from where you hide And in this moment, I need to be needed When my self-esteem is sinking, I like to be liked In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted 'Cause I love to be loved I love to be loved I love to be loved Oh I love to be loved Bridge: This old familiar craving I've been here before, this way of behaving Don't know who the hell I'm saving anymore Let it pass let it go let it leave From the deepest place I grieve This time I believe And I let go And I let go I can let go of it Though it takes all the strength in me And all the world can see I'm losing such a central part of me I can let go of it You know I mean it You know that I mean it I recognize how much I've lost But I cannot face the cost 'Cause I love to be loved Yes I love to be loved I love to be loved I love to be loved I love to be loved Yes I love to be loved Note: listen to the record to get the exact timing of the chords. In the bridge-thingy, you don't have to play Am inbetween F and G all the time to make it sound right. In the last four or five lines the guitar changes to Am at the end of each line. I've put in Am and A5 just for the sake of variation if you're playing an acoustic version. I don't think it's actually on the recording.
