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)
