Em7+/9 Em6/add9
If the night turned cold and the stars looked down
Em7add9 Em6/add9
And you hugh yourself on the cold cold ground
Am7 Bm7
You wake the morning in a stranger's coat
Em Emadd9 Em
No one would you see
Am7 Bm7
You ask yourself, who'd watch for me
Em Em/C#
My only friend, who could it be
C
It's hard to say it
B7 Emmaj7 Em6
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
When your belly's empty and the hunger's so real
And you're too proud to beg and too dumb to steal
You search the city for your only friend
No one would you see
You ask yourself, who could it be
A solitary voice to speak out and set you free
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
Am7 D
You're not the easiest person I ever got to know
Gadd9 G Am7 Em D Am7
And it's hard for us both to let our feelings show
Bm7
Some would say I should let you go your way
Gadd9 G
You'll only make me cry
Am7 Bm7 Gmaj9
If there's one guy, just one guy
Em Em/C#
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
C
It's hard to say it
B7 Emmaj7 Em6 Emmaj7 Em6
It's hard to say it, but it's probably me
When the world's gone crazy and it makes no sense
There's only one voice that comes to your defense
The jury's out and your eyes search the room
And one friendly face is all you need to see
Am7 Bm7 Gmaj9
If there's one guy, just one guy
Em Em/C#
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
C
It's hard to say it
B7 Am7 A7
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
C
I hate to say it
B7 Am7 A7
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
