F                      G
I've been lookin' for someone
F                          G
Between the fire and the flame
F                      Em7
We're all lookin' for somethin'
            Am
To ease the pain

Chorus:
G Am        C         D         G              Am        C  D
I need somebody, somebody like you. Everybody needs somebody.
G Am        C   D                G             Am        C  D
I need somebody, hey, how about you Everybody needs somebody.

When you're out on the front line
And you're watchin' them fall
It doesn't take long to realize
It ain't worth fightin' for

I thought I saw the Madonna
When you walked in the room
Well, your eyes were like diamonds
And they cut right through
Oh, they cut right through

Chorus:
I need somebody
(Somebody like you)
Everybody needs somebody (Oh yeah)
I need somebody
(Hey, what about you)
We all need somebody (Hey)

A#                      C
Another night, another lesson learned,
A#/D                             C
it's the distance that keeps us sane
A#                             C
But when the silence turns to sorrow,
         D
we do it all again, all again.

Chorus:
I need somebody
(Somebody like you)
Everybody needs somebody (Oh yeah)
I need somebody
(Oh, what about you)
Everybody needs somebody (Hey)
I need somebody
(Somebody like you)
Everybody needs somebody
(I need somebody)
I need somebody
(Yeah, what about you, yeah)
We all need somebody (Hey, go on)
I need somebody
Everybody needs somebody
I need somebody (Hey)
Everybody needs somebody
