[F]
I felt in need of some lovin'
[Bb] So [C] I sat down and woke
I tried to find a reason for livin'
[F] But I couldn't find a reason at all
[Bb]
So I holed up to my maker
[Fm] And I started to say a prayer
[C] I waited for an answer
[F] But there wasn't anybody there
[C] I
[Bb] [F]
thought there should've been someone
[C] But I wasn't quite sure who
The friend that came upon me was no one
That [F] I could take my troubles to
[Bb] Someone else down by my bedside
[F] And I started to say a prayer
[C] It was when I asked for nothin'
[F]
I could feel that there was somebody there

I'm moving still but it's easy
[C] Cause I know which way to go
It doesn't matter how long it takes me
[F] Cause there's someone there to help me who knows
[Bb]
All the things that I am after
[F] All the lovin' I'm gonna share
[C] It's all I've got I don't mind
[F] Cause there really is somebody
Well I felt that need for lovin'
So [C] I sat down and woke
I tried to find a reason for livin'
[F]
But I couldn't find a reason at all
[Bb] So I holed up to my maker
