=============================================================================
Hey Everyone! This song has to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever
heard in a really long time. Everything from the melody to the lyrics;
Brilliant! This song is by this awesome Hawaiian group called Ekolu.
I've been playing this song for a while, and I thought I'd share it with all
of you. Please note that I have only been playing the guitar for less than
a year and this is actually my very first song I ever transcribed, so please
be easy on me; I'm still a beginner. I tried my best to tab this by ear,
so I'm pretty sure that there's probably some mistakes here and there.
Anyways, I honestly hope you enjoy playing this as much as I enjoyed
tabbing and sharing this beautiful song. Please feel free to correct any of
my mistakes. This is RAiN. HAVE FUN!

============================================================================
I love you, I need you,
To hold me every night.
And when you're feeling lonely,
Girl I'll be by your side.
I'll tell you that I love you so,
I'll hold you and never let you go.
Girl tell me your love belongs to me,
And I love you honestly.
I want you to know that,
I'm always here for you.
Through your bad times, your saddest times
I'll help you see it through.
I'll comfort you when you're alone,
I'll give you love like you never known.
Girl tell me your love belongs to me,
And I love you honestly.
(Bridge)
There will be times,
When life will seem unfair,
But you can run to me
'Cause u know girl I will be there.
I'll comfort you when you're alone,
I'll give you love like you never known.
Girl tell me your love belongs to me,
And I love you honestly.
(x3)
And I love you honestly...
