Someone To Be Around

	  		Intro: A, C#m, B 


Verse 
A          C#m            B 
I've spent my last ounce of hope, 
A               C#m            B 
I've got nothing to show for a while now, 
A                     C#m 
But if you throw me a rope, 
                   B 
I might be able to cope with the down and out 
A                   C#m                  B 
Wish I could float, the water's up to my throat 
A                   C#m              B 
And the calls to my friends they are drowning out, 
A                  C#m                B 
Last time we spoke I said I needed you most 
A          C#m            B 
I just need someone to be around 


A    C#m       B 
Oh, someone to be around 
A    C#m       B 
Oh, someone to be around 


Verse 

A            C#m 
My legs start to shiver, 
B 
My soul starts to quiver 
A              C#m           B   
I think of the last time you spoke to me 
A        C#m              B   
You said everything has a meaning, 
A             C#m           B 
Oh everything happens for a reason 
A        C#m                 B   
But when someone's alone the words aren't that strong 
A          C#m                    B 
And I just long for someone to be around 


A   C#m           B  
Oh, someone to be around 
A   C#m           B 
Oh, someone to be around 
A   C#m           B 
Oh, someone to be around 
A  C#m  B 
Ooh yeah 


Verse 

A                  C#m 
See my head is all clouded 
B 
From thinking about it 
A             C#m 
I'm trying to find my peace of mind 
B 
But there's no way around it, 
A            C#m 
And you just compound it 
B 
By saying that I'm just a waste of time 
A              C#m 
I said maybe I know this, 
B 
But choose not to show it 
A           C#m 
I hope I am able to work it out 
B       A      C#m                     B                      
But now I will struggle with all of my troubles 
A          C#m           B 
And I need someone to be around 


A   C#m           B 
Oh, someone to be around 
A    C#m           B 
Ooh, someone to be around 
A   C#m           B 
Oh, someone to be around 
A    C#m           B 
Ooh, someone to be around 
A   C#m           B 
Oh, someone to be around, yeah 
A    C#m           B 
Ooh, someone to be around, yeah 
A   C#m           B 
Oh, someone to be around, yeah 
A    C#m           B 
Ooh, someone to be around 


A, C#m, B
