F#m
One day in the life of the lonely
Another day on the round about
What do they need
Somebody to love

One night in the life of the lonely
There's a miracle on the screen
What did they see
Somebody to love

A
He guarantees you instant glory
Get your money on the line

Gotta send me a plastic Jesus
There's a check in the mail today
That's what I need
Somebody to love

We just won't meet on Sunday
Gotta buy him a limousine
Somewhere to live
Somewhere to pray

A
Every penny from the people
Keeps the wolf outside the door
Shop around and find forgiveness for yourself
But he'll give you more, yeah

Chorus:
F#m
Holy father, holy ghost
  B
Who's the one who pays the most
F#m
Rock the cradle don't you cry
D
Buy another lullaby
F#m
Jack is nimble, Jack is quick
 B
Pick your pocket, turn a trick
F#m
Slow and steady, he's got time
D           E          F#m
To commit another TV crime
F#m
TV crime

One day in the life of the lonely
Back again on the round about
What do they need
Somebody to love

Yeah

One night in the life of the lonely
Another miracle on the screen
What did they see
Somebody to love again

A supermarket of salvation
Take a look inside the store
Shop around and find forgiveness for yourself
But he gives more

Chorus
