Someone To Talk To

Key: AHard

C#5

A5B5

Though it's me that's on fire not this cigarette

A5B5

I was stabbed in the back by that young suffragette

A5B5

And what do I care if she leaves me alone?

A5B5

If I need somebody, I'll pick up the phone

C#5B5

I'll put on my good face, clean up the flat

C#5B5

I'm starting all over, goodbye to all that

E5D5

Put on some music and pour out a drink

C#5B5

I'll go back to bed and I'll try not to think

A5B5

Someone to talk to

A5B5

A5B5

A5B5

Someone to talk to

A5B5

Someone to talk to

(Keep same chord structure like above.)

She was a person I just couldn't see

And I tried to make her what she couldn't be

We tried and we tried, but of course in the end

I drove her crazy and right 'round the bend

Now it's too much to just sit here and cry

I can't be seen with a tear in my eye

Why am I standing right next to the phone

When I kept on saying I must be alone?

A5B5

Someone to talk to

A5B5

A5B5

Someone to talk to

A5B5

Someone to talk to

I love you, why didn't I say that before?

I guess that it's safe now she's walked through the door

It's hard when you know that you've got to go on

Feeling so weak and pretending you're strong

I didn't see her, I only felt me

One day I'll learn just which part of me bleeds

Now that she's gone I know she was great

But I fucked it up and now it's too late

Someone to talk to
