E                      B            E 
I came here because I knew I'd be welcome. 
                         A         B 
And because somehow you always understand 
A                                   E 
You seem to have a way with lonely people 
          F#                             B 
And you always were my greatest helping hand 
 
     E              B              E                 
Now once again I'm here to take advantage. 
                      A             B 
Cause once again the one I love is gone 
A                                          E 
I need to know there's someone who still loves me. 
              B      A         E 
And I need a shoul--der to cry on 

E                  B                 E 
I over looked the love you tried so hard to give. 
                  A          B 
The love I never seem to understand 
A                                  E 
I always stay just long enough to hurt you 
          F#                            B 
And what little love I gave was second hand 
   
D                   B             E 
Now once again I'm here to take advantage 
                         A          B 
Though I don't deserve the arms I left alone. 
A                                              E 
I need to know there's someone who still loves me. 
              A      B          E 
And I need a shoul--der to cry on 

A                                         E 
I need to know there's someone who still loves me. 
              A      B          E 
And I need a shoul--der to cry on
