I've spent my last ounce of hope,

I might be able to cope with the down and out
A C#m B
Wish I could float, the water's up to my throat

And the calls to my friends they are drowning out,
A C#m B
Last time we spoke I said I needed you most

I just need someone to be around
A C#m B
Oh, someone to be around
A C#m B
Oh, someone to be around

But choose not to show it
A C#m
I hope I am able to work it out
B A C#m B
