[Verse 1]
[C]When I get
home from my job,
[Em]my a[Am]partment is so cold
[G]I rush straight to the fridge,
I know I [F]left a few bottles there last night
[C]As I'm sitting on my bed
[Em]My m[Am]ind starts to ramble back
to the days that used to be
[G]Those happy days of loving you
Sure has [F]turned into misery
And I [C]need [F]me somebody
I need me [C]someone[Am]
[G]Someone to hold when lights are low
[F]Someone who'll stand by my side,
who won't let me go
I [C]need me somebody,
[F]I need me s[C]omeone[G][C]
Friday night is [G]here
[Am]I take my lonely stroll downtown
[G]I'm trying to find some
lonely man down there
I feel [F]his life's been messed
up just like mine
Oh, [C]I open the door
[G]To the [Am]nex t nearest neighborhood bar
[G]I water my drink, but the more I drink
The more it [F]makes me think
It makes me think
that I [C]need [F]me somebody
I need me [C]someone[F]
[G]Someone to hold,
[Em]when [G]lights are low
[F]Someone who'll stand by my side,
who won't let me go
I [C]need me somebody,
[F]I need me s[C]omeone[Ab]
[Db]And Christmas night is here
[Ab]Lot [Bbm]s of pretty presents
underneath my Christmas tree
[Ab]But they don't hold no secret to me
I know what's [Gb]in them
Cause I bought them all for myself
[Db]And New Year's Eve comes along,
[Ab]only [Bbm]one glass of
champagne on my table
[Ab]I place a mirror on the opposite side,
I [Gb]propose a toast
And I'm hollering cheers,
oh, [F]but I'm able,
[Bbm]and I ne[Db]ed me somebody
[Ebm]I need [Db]somebody, [Gb]I need me someo[Db]ne
[Gb]Oh, [Ab]someone to hold when
nights are long
[Gb]Someone to stand by my side
who won't let me go
I [Db]need me somebody,
[Gb]I need me so[Db]meone[Gb]
Oh, when the [Db]going gets [Gb]rough
When the [Db]road gets [Gb]tough
That's when I [Db]need [Gb]me somebody[Db]
[Gb]Someone to hold [Db]me
Some[Gb]body,
someone [Db]to h[Db]old me i[Gb]n
[Db]Me, me, somebody
[Gb]Through the eagles and the f[Db]lies[Gb]
[Db]We mess [Gb]up just like my[Db]
Me, [Db]me, somebody
[Gb]Through the night

[Db]I'm [Db]I'm I'm h[Gb]ere
