I never had any reason, for ambition or drive. 
           C                 F 
In fact, I never had anybody that cared if I'm  
C    F 
alive. 
    C                                  E 
But then one day she came my way and I heard a  
                          F 
voice within me say don't let her get away.. 
             Fm 
whatever you do. 
      C                             F        C 
But I never thought that this could be..that she  
                   F          Dm 
would ever look at me, seriously. 


    G                         C                    Am                      
And that's why (oh, Lord, oh, Lord) I gotta be somebody. 
               F 
I'm down on my knees..begging please, please, please,  
G 
please. 
                             Am 
I've got to win her love for me.

I grew up on the sidewalks, got along the best I could. 
C                             F           C    F 
Mama worked all day long, and Papa was no good. 
     C                               E 
I've never asked for much before but here I am at Heaven's

door..so, help me, please, don't let her pass me by. 
        C                      F        Cm          C 
Cause I would rather die, than see, her love turn into  
      F      Dm  G 
sympathy for me. 

 
    G                         C                    Am                      
And that's why (oh, Lord, oh, Lord) I gotta be somebody. 
               F 
I'm down on my knees..begging please, please, please,  
G 
please. 
                             Am  E Dm C 
I've got to win her love for me.
