The first line on the first page

to the end of the last page (you were looking at)
Cm Gm/D Ab7+
from the start in your own way you just want
Bb Ab
somebody listening to what you say
F7
it doesn't matter who you are
Cm Gm/D Ab7+
Cm Eb7+ Fm7/9
Cm Gm/D Ab7+
you just want
Bb Ab
somebody listening to what you say you just want
Fm Bb Ab
somebody listening to what they say
F7
it doesn't matter who you are
it doesn't matter who you are
outro (semplified version)
Ab
is there anybody out there who
Fm7
is lost and hurt and lonely too
Cm Bb
are they bleeding all your colours into one?
Ab
and if you come undone
as if you've been run through
Fm7
some catapult it fired you
Cm Bb
you wonder if your chance'll ever come
Ab
or if you're stuck in square one
