D
Someone somewhere tonight
A
Is taking their first steps
G
Letting go of the hands that held them
A
And trusting them-selves

An' someone somewhere tonight
A
Is hearing their last rites
G
And hoping with all their might
A
That there's something else.
Em A
well, babe, lie down here beside me
D Bm A
Let's lie real still
G A
An' tell me you love me
G
And you always will.
D
Someone somewhere tonight
A
Is tasting their first kiss
G
Whispering softly this wish
A
For this night to go on
D
While someone somewhere
A
Is holdin' on to a bottle
G
Pourin' one more an' hopin' that God will
A
Get them through till the dawn.
Em A
so, babe, lie down here beside me
D Bm A
Let's lie real still
G A
An' tell me you love me
G
And you always will.
Instrumental D Em A G
D
Someone somewhere tonight
A
Is stuck in a prison
G
Breathin' but just barely livin'
A
Behind walls of their own
D
Ooh, an' someone somewhere tonight
A
Just found their own wings
G A
An' found some beauty, found some truth found some meaning spite of it all.
Em A
so, babe, lie down here beside me
D Bm A
Let's lie real still
G A
An' tell me you love me
G
And you always will.
