The live ending is different than the album one,
so you're on your own from here. It's basically some
oh-ing and ah-ing switching back and forth from C to Em,
ending w/ F G C
And though it isn't REALLY there, I hear an Em in the chorus:
Alternate Chorus
C Am Em C
'Cause all I need is you. I just need you.
C Am Em C
Yeah you got me blue. I give my heart to you.
