1. I came here because I knew I’d be welcomed,

                  D                             G                    A     - A7

    and because somehow you always understand.

      G                                                        D

    You seem to have a way with lonely people,

                   E                          E7                     A      - A7

    and you always were my greatest helping hand.

 

             D                       A                    D

2. Now once again I’m here to take it back,

                    D                         G                A     - A7

    though I don’t deserve the arms I left alone.

    G                                                                D

    I need to know there's someone who still loves me,

           D                 A   - G       D

    and I need a shou...lder to cry on.    + GD

3. I overlooked the love you tried so hard to give,

           D                   G                        A     - A7

    the love I never seemed to understand.

    G                                                         D

    I always stayed just long enough to hurt you,

                     E               E7                          A      - A7

     and what little love I gave was second hand.

 

             D                       A                     D

4. Now once again I’m here to take advantage,

                 D                     G                   A     - A7

    ’cause once again the one I love is gone.

    G                                                                D

    I need to know there’s someone who still loves me,

           D                A    - G       D

    and I need a shou...lder to cry on.
