Em'         D'
One by one, The Guests arrive
C                        D'
The Guests are coming through
Em'               D'
The open-hearted many
C                  E
The broken-hearted few

        A                      D
Ah but no one knows where the night is going
 A                    D
No one knows why the wine is flowing
C         Dm/c  C     Dm/c  C     Dm/c  C     Dm/c  C
O love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
E                 A
Oh... I need you now

And those who dance begin to dance
And those who weep begin
Welcome, Welcome cries a Voice,
Let all my guests come in

Ah but no one knows where the night is going
No one knows why the wine is flowing
O love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
Oh... I need you now

And all go stumbling through that house
In the utmost urgency
Saying, Do reveal yourself
Or, Why hast thou forsaken me

But no one knows where the night is going
No one knows why the wine is flowing
O love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
Oh... I need you now

All at once the torches flare
The inner door flies open
One by one they enter there
In every style of passion

And no one knows where the night is going
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
O love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
Oh... I need you now

Those who dance begin to dance
Those who weep begin
Those who earnestly are lost
Ah they're lost and lost again

Ah but no one knows where the night is going
No one knows why the wine is flowing
O love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
Oh... I need you now

One by one The Guests arrive
The Guests are coming through
The broken-hearted many
The open-hearted few

No one knows where the night is going
No one knows why the wine is flowing
O love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
Oh... I need you now
