D
I'm filling up inside
                    A#
Like I need to open wide
     Am7                  D
And pour my heart out to you
But I'll just get denied
                         A#
And all I wanted was someone to hear
     Am7          D   D7
What I'm going through

Chorus:
D
Every time that I need you around
              A#            C
You're never there (never there)
               D
You're never there (never there)
 D
Because in my life is where I need you now
                  A#            C
But you're never there (never there)
              G#            A#
You're never there (never there)

You were supposed to see
All the signs I left to read
In front of your face
You were supposed to be
The closest thing to being me
But you're the furthest away
That's because

Chorus

               D
You're never there
You're never there

    A#
And I doubt
     F/A          D
That I will ever find out
    G/B             A#
If there's a way to get out
     F/A         D
Of feeling all alone
       A#
Cause lately
F/A                 D
I've been thinking maybe
     G/B               A#
That no one's going to save me
     G/B         D
I'll do it on my own
On my own, on my own

Chorus

You're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)
You're never there
You're never there
