G#
Everywhere someone's getting over,
Fm
Everybody cries and sometimes,
A#m                                   D#
You can still lose even if you really try,
G#
Talking 'bout the dream like the dream is over,
Fm
Talk like that won't get you nowhere,
A#m                          Fm
Everybody's trusting in the heart,
                      D#
Like the heart don't lie.

Chorus:
G#              C      Fm  C#
But that's all that I need,
G#      C        Fm    C#
Someone else to cling to,
G#      C      Fm  D#   C#
Someone I can lean on until,
        D#
I don't need to,
G#                         C
Just stay all through the night,
            Fm             C#
And in the morning let me down,
G#               C     Fm   D#    C#
Cuz that's all that I need right now.

Everywhere someone's getting over,
Everybody's lied to someone,
People still use other people,
With a crooked smile,
All around the world,
There's a sinking feeling,
Out there right now,
Someone's feeling,
Down on themselves,
And don't know why.

Chorus

C#            C#m          Cm
And life ain't no beauty show
          Fm                 A#m
We don't know where tomorrow ends
               D#
And when we're sad
A#m             D#
It's kind of a drag
    G#
Ah, yeah

Just stay all through the night
And in the morning let me down
Yeah, 'cause that's all that I need, yeah
That's all that I need, yeah
That's all that I need
Right now
Right now
