When the truth is found   to be lies 
     F#m        B    F#m 
And all the joy   within you dies 

           A       E       F#m 
Don't you want somebody to love 
B          A       E       F#m 
Don't you need somebody to love 
B            A        E       F#m 
Wouldn't you love somebody to love 
F#m        E        B       F#m 
You better find somebody to love

              F#m              B 
When the garden's flowers,  baby, are dead 
              F#m        B              F#m 
Yes, and your mind, your mind is so full of red 

Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his 
Yeah but in your head, baby 
I'm afraid you don't know where it is 

Tears are running, they're all running down your breast 
And your friends, baby, they treat you like a guest
