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

My soul starts to quiver

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

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

A C#m
See my head is all clouded
B

And you just compound it
B
By saying that I'm just a waste of time

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
