You need somebody there to hold you
F#m D
So you can call out my name
E A
When you're only lonely
F#m D
Now don't you ever be ashamed
E A F#m D E
When you're only lonely
A
When you need somebody around
F#m
On the nights that try you remember

And I'll be the last one there beside you

So you can call out my name
