Em

I need someone, a person to talk to

Someone who'd care to love

C

Could it be you

Em

Could it be you

Situation gets rough

Then I start to panic

It's not enough

It's just a habit

C

Hey kid you're sick

Em

Darling this is itC D5/F#

You can all just kiss off into the air

Behind my back I can see them stare

They'll hurt me bad but I won't mind

They'll hurt me bad they do it all the time

Yeah yeah, they do it all the time

Em

I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record

C

Oh yeah well don't get so distressed

Em

Did I happen to mention that I'm impressed

(Brian and Gordon do their own thing, sorry i can't

tab this part out)
