A#
If you need your car towed,
        Gm                             F
If that Volkswagen breaks down on the way
out of this town.
D#
I know a guy.
     A#
I'll make a few calls,
        Gm
if you need something part time
             F
'til you're back on your feet.
D#
I know a guy.

Chorus:
D#
And if you're looking for
someone barely hanging on,
lost the only thing that he ever loved
A#
wishing you would come over
give anything just to hold ya.
            D#
If you're trying to find a man who lost his mind,
doesn't sleep at night unless he's dreaming about
     A#
you laying right here beside him
                           F
praying someday you might feel like forgiving
     Gm                    D#
and think about giving him one more try.
               A#
Then I know a guy.

If you would ask me
To think of a person that didn't deserve you
I know a guy
And if you needed a man to never really listen
Not know what he'd be missing
I know a guy

Chorus:
And if you're looking for someone,
barely hanging on
Lost the only thing that he ever loved
Wishing you would come over
Do anything just to hold you
If you're trying to find a man
Who lost his mind
Doesn't sleep at night
Unless he's dreaming about you laying
right here beside him
Praying someday you might feel like forgiving
And think about giving him one more try
Then I know a guy

          G#
I know a guy
                  D#
Who feels like a fool,
                    A#
He's been hating himself for what he put
       F
you through.
                  G#                   D#
He'd take it all back if he only knew how.
               A#                          F
He knows that you've probably moved on by now.

Chorus:
But if you're looking for someone,
barely hanging on
Lost the only thing that he ever loved
Wishing you would come over
Give anything just to hold you
If you're trying to find a man
Who lost his mind
Doesn't sleep at night
Unless he's dreaming about you
laying right here beside him
Praying someday you might feel like forgiving
And think about giving him one more try
Then I know a guy

One, one more try
I know a guy
