[A] [E]
[A] [D]
I [D]
[A]
[B] [A] was not ready for the [Bm] role I
[D] was so discontent [A] to wear that heavy load
[D]
[A] So I got down on my [Bm] knees
[E] Made a sucker's prayer
A grim cold photo lab [A] report And when [F#] nobody gave [Bm] a spawn
[D] I took my glasses off and [A] went to find a pawn Stuffing rocks into the [Bm] pockets of my pants
[E] When I waited in Those curtains carried that [A] weight
I wanna love somebody but [A] I don't know [D] how
[E] I've been so long lonely and it's getting [A] me down
I wanna throw [B]
my body [Em] in the [B]
river and [D] drown [E] I wanna love somebody but I [E] don't [A] know how
[Bm]
[Bm]
[D]
[A]
[Bm]
[E]
[E]
[A] So if [F#] you're lost along [Bm] the way And
[D] if you're thinking that [A] will always be the [D] case
Won't you listen to [Bm] my plea?
[E] Make a sucker's prayer
[A] I [F] wanna love somebody but I don't know [D] how
[E] I've been so long lonely and it's getting [A] me down
I wanna throw my [B] body in [A] the river and [D] drown
[E] I wanna love somebody but I don't know how
[A] [F#m]
