Won't somebody come along
Bb6                         Abmaj7
And teach me how to keep it alive,
           Bb6    Cm
To survive?
                           Bb6
Come along and show me something
                     Abmaj7
That I never knew in your eyes
                  Bb6    Cm
Take away the tourniquet
               Bb6              Abmaj7
I used to be so full of my confidence
I used to know just what I wanted

But now I walk alone and talk about it when I know
