INTRO
|A5| |B5| *4
VERSE 1
A5 B5
Though it's me that's on fire not this cigarette
A5 B5
I was stabbed in the back by that young suffragette
A5 B5
And what do I care if she leaves me alone?
A5 B5
If I need somebody, I'll pick up the phone
PRECHORUS
C#5 B5
I'll put on my good face, clean up the flat
C#5 B5
I'm starting all over, goodbye to all that
E5 D5
Put on some music and pour out a drink
C#5 B5
I'll go back to bed and I'll try not to think
CHORUS
A5 B5
Someone to talk to
A5 B5
Someone to talk to
A5 B5
Someone to talk to
A5 B5
Someone to talk to
A5 B5
Someone to talk to
(Keep same chord structure like above.)
VERSE 2
She was a person I just couldn't see
And I tried to make her what she couldn't be
We tried and we tried, but of course in the end
I drove her crazy and right 'round the bend
PRECHORUS 2
Now it's too much to just sit here and cry
I can't be seen with a tear in my eye
Why am I standing right next to the phone
When I kept on saying I must be alone?
CHORUS
A5 B5
Someone to talk to
A5 B5
Someone to talk to
A5 B5
Someone to talk to
A5 B5
Someone to talk to
A5 B5
Someone to talk to
SOLO

Someone to talk to
A5 B5
Someone to talk to
A5 B5
Someone to talk to
A5 B5
Someone to talk to
A5 B5
Someone to talk to
A5 B5
Someone to talk to
VERSE 3
I love you, why didn't I say that before?
I guess that it's safe now she's walked through the door
It's hard when you know that you've got to go on
Feeling so weak and pretending you're strong
PRECHORUS 3
I didn't see her, I only felt me
One day I'll learn just which part of me bleeds
Now that she's gone I know she was great
But I fucked it up and now it's too late
CHORUS
Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to
