Intro
When your (C) heart is all al(Am7)one
Every (F) second seems so (G) long
When it's just (C) you, you can't see (Am7) through
Those ol' (F) clouds that rain so (G) blue (Am7/G) (G7)
But when (C) somebody (F) loves you (G7)
There's (C) nothing you (F) can't do (G7)
When (Am7) somebody loves you
It's (D7) easy to get through
When (F) somebody loves you (G) (Am7/G) (G7)
The way I (C) love you (F) (G7) (C) (F) (G7)
When it's (C) late, the sun (Am7) hangs low
By (F) yourself, nowhere (G) to go
Sing a (C) song, you dance a(Am7)lone
Play (F) solitaire and stare (G) at the phone (Am7/G) (G7)
But when (C) somebody (F) loves you (G7)
There's (C) nothing you (F) can't do (G7)
When (Am7) somebody loves you
It's (D7) easy to get through
When (F) somebody loves you (G) (Am7/G) (G7)
The way I (C) love you (F) (G7) (C) (F) (G7)
So let's (Am7) put aside our (F) foolish pride
And (Am7) let our hearts say hell(F)o
We (Am7) both agree we're (F) just no good
At bein' on our (G) own (Am7/G) (G7)
(A) (Bm7) (A7)
But when (D) somebody (G) loves you (A7)
There's (D) nothing you (G) can't do (A7)
When (Bm7) somebody loves you
It's (E7) easy to get through
When (G) somebody loves you (A) (Bm7) (A7)
The way I (D) love you (G) (A7)
The way I (D) love you (G) (Bm7) (A7) the way I love you (D)
