Relatively speaking, you make me who I am.  
                            F
I need you exactly like the ocean needs the land.
Am               Em                  F   G            C
I need you like sunshine needs the shadows and the night.
Am                 F               D7           Dm  F/G
I need you the way love needs the savage hurtful fight.

Relatively sepaking, I'm nothing without you.
                                        F
You are where I've been before, you are where I'm going to.
Am                 Em            F       G      C
You are living out my dreams and you are all my fears.
Am              F          D7               Dm/G
You evoke my laughter, you unleash ev'ry tear.

The rich ones need the poor ones; the blind need those with sight,
Am                   F              D7                  G      G7
Sinners need the pure of heart; the black ones need the white.

Relatively speaking the contrast makes it go.  
                         F
Ev'ry action taken is related in the flow.
Am                   Em                 F    G       C 
Stars and losers, kings and fools go dancing hand in hand,
Am              F          D7          Dm    F/G
Relatively speaking, you make me who I am.
