C#
With no one to love
F                          C
  Though I've looked everywhere
                               E
And I can't find me anybody to love,
   E7
To feel my care.

Every day I keep trying to move forward,
                                 C
But something is driving me, oh, back,
                                        E
Honey, something's trying to hold on to me,

To my way of life.

But I don't think you're gonna find anybody,
          F                                      C
Not anybody who could say that they tried like I tried,
                                E
The worst you can say all about me
            E7             B    A    E    B

Maybe I can help you, said uh whoa,
