G Bm F C D7 F G D7

[Verse 1]
G           Bm
Sometimes I get too drunk
  F               C
I feel so goddamn low
  D7               F             G       D7
I have no place to go, no one to turn to
G                  Bm            F                 C
I think about your loving arms, where I’d like to be
     D7             F         G       D7
It’s selfish as can be, and I know it
G                Bm               F             C
And if I’m sorry for myself, I’m sorry for you too
       D7              F            G       D7
’Cause I’m the same as you, and I’m burning

[Chorus]
D             C            G                    E
So I sing for everyone who feels there’s no way out
Am               C                  D
Maybe if you all shout someone will hear you
D7             G
Listen to them shout

[Solo]
G Bm F C D7 F G D7

[Verse 2]
G                Bm                 F               C
I won’t say that I love you, cause that would be a lie
      D7         F            G       D7
I can only say I try, and you know it
G                 Bm                 F                 C
Love is something more or less than words can hope to say
     D7               F                    G      D7
It’s something day to day in the life were living
G               Bm             F                   C
Lovers come and lovers go but friends are hard to find
    D7              F           G      D7
Yes I can count all mine on one finger

[Chorus]
D             C            G                    E
So I sing for everyone who feels there’s no way out
Am               C                  D
Maybe if you all shout someone will hear you
D7             G
Listen to them shout

[Solo]
G Bm F C D7 F G D7

[Verse 3]
G                Bm                 F               C
The distance that's between us, it just never seems to change
          D7             F           G             D7
There's a whole mountain range of misunderstanding


[Chorus]
D             C            G                    E
So I sing for everyone who feels there’s no way out
C                                   D
Maybe if you all shout someone will hear you
D7             G
Listen to them shout
