CAPO 3
[Intro]  G   Em   D  C  
[Verse 1]
GIf you need your car towed,
If thEmat Volkswagen breaks down on the Dway out of this town.
CI know a guy.
I'll Gmake a few calls,
if you Emneed something part time
'til you're Dback on your feet.
I Cknow a guy.
[Chorus]
CAnd if you're looking for someone barely hanging on,
lost the only thing that he ever loved
Gwishing you would come over
give anything just to hold ya.
CIf you're trying to find a man who lost his mind,
doesn't sleep at night unless he's dreaming about you laying Gright here beside him
praying someday you might Dfeel like forgiving
and Emthink about giving him Cone Dmore Ctry.
Then I know a guyG.
[Verse 2]
GIf you would ask me tEmo think of a person that Ddidn't deserve you.
CI know a guy.
If you Gneeded a man to Emnever really listen
not Dknow what he'd be missing.
CI know a guy.
[Chorus]
CAnd if you're looking for someone barely hanging on,
lost the only thing that he ever loved
Gwishing you would come over
give anything just to hold ya.
CIf you're trying to find a man who lost his mind,
doesn't sleep at night unless he's dreaming about you laying Gright here beside him
praying someday you might Dfeel like forgiving
and Emthink about giving him Cone Dmore Ctry.
Then I know a guyG.
[Bridge]
I know a gFuy
Who feels like a Cfool,
He's been hating Ghimself for what he put you Dthrough.
He'd take it all Fback if he only knew Chow.
He knows that Gyou've probably moved on by Dnow. 
[Chorus]
CAnd if you're looking for someone Dbarely hanging on,
Clost the only thing Dthat he ever loved
Gwishing you would come over
give anything just to hold ya.
CIf you're trying to find a man who lost his mind,
doesn't sleep at night unless he's dreaming about you laying Gright here beside him
praying someday you might Dfeel like forgiving
and Emthink about giving him Cone Dmore Ctry.
Then I know a guyG.
EmOne, one more Dtry. C  
CI know a Gguy.

If you need your car towed,

If that Volkswagen breaks down on the way out of this town.

I know a guy.

I'll make a few calls,

if you need something part time

'til you're back on your feet.

I know a guy.

[Chorus]

And if you're looking for someone barely hanging on,

lost the only thing that he ever loved

wishing you would come over

give anything just to hold ya.

If you're trying to find a man who lost his mind,

doesn't sleep at night unless he's dreaming about you laying right here beside him

praying someday you might feel like forgiving

Em C D C

and think about giving him one more try.

Then I know a guy.
