E                       B               E 
Saturn's light throws a ring around the moon 
B               A                       B 
and I said my prayers too soon, no one was listening. 
E               B 
There's a hush on the street 
C#m             B               A 
I can hear my own heartbeat, and my lonesome breathing 
F#            A                       A   B 
but my soul's little bird can still sing: 

E               A       B 
I want good love 
  E             A       B 
I want it so bad. 
C#m 
It's a seed stuck in my throat 
B 
it's a weed around my hope  
              C#m 
It makes me choke 
        B               F# 
and I can only breathe outside 
          C#m                   B              A  F# 
or in tall buildings with high ceilings and open doors. 
             C#m                B       A 
Isn't there someone out there I am here for? 
            C#m                 B       E               B       E       B 
Isn't there someone out there I am here for?     


   E            B               E 
It takes a will just to make it through the night 
  B                    A                B 
when to wait and when to fight, I'm swing-and-missing. 
          E             C#m    B 
When we meet, will his eyes recall me? 
     C#m                B               A 
I look for his face everywhere in the dark 
       F#       A                 A B  
and I carry my torch of bright stars 

E               A       B 
I want good love 
E              A        B 
I want it so bad. 
C#m 
It's a seed stuck in my throat 
B 
it's a weed around my hope  
             C#m 
It makes me choke 
           B            F# 
and I can only breathe outside 
          C#m                   B             A  F# 
or in tall buildings with high ceilings and open doors. 
             C#m                B       A 
Isn't there someone out there I am here for? 
            C#m                 B       F# 
Isn't there someone out there I am here for?     


C#m                    B                F# 
Couples kiss across counters and tables 
   C#m            B            F# 
I smile and then look at the wall. 
           C#m                         B           F# 
But some people hold hands and they don't pay attention 
C#m                           B         F# 
like their love is somebody else's invention. 
C#m                             A 
Our heads say hold back, but our hearts run to strangers and say 
F#                                    A   B 
"look at me, look at me, look at me." 

E               A       B 
I want good love 
E               A       B 
I want it so bad. 
C#m 
It's a seed stuck in my throat 
B 
it's a weed around my hope  
              C#m 
It makes me choke 
            B            F# 
and I can only breathe outside 
          C#m                   B             A    F# 
or in tall buildings with high ceilings and open doors. 
              C#m               B       A 
Isn't there someone out there I am here for? 
             C#m                B       A 
Isn't there someone out there I am here for? 
            C#m                 B       E               B       E       B       E 
Isn't there someone out there I am here for?
