Lyrics
Someone to hold you too (F)close,
(C)someone to hurt you too (Fdim)deep,
(Cmaj7)someone to sit in your (Am7)chair and ruin your (Em)sleep and make you aware of being (Dm7)alive.
(C)Someone to need you too (F)much,
(C)someone to know you too (Fdim)well;
(Cmaj7)someone to pull you up (Am7)short and put you through (Fmaj7)hell and give you (C)support for being (Dm7)alive,
being alive.
Make me alive,
make me (Ab)confused,
(Bb)mock me with (C)praise,
(B)let me be (Ab)used,
(Bb)vary my (G7sus)days.
But alone is alone,
not (Db)alive.
(C)Somebody hold me too (F)close, (C)somebody force me to (Fdim)care,
(Cmaj7)somebody make me come (Am7)through, I'll always be (Fmaj7)there as frightened as (C)you of being (Dm7)alive,
being alive, being (C)alive.
