Am                        Em9           Fmaj7
When your body is coming apart at the seams
          C                    G
And the whole thing's feeling low
 E/G#      Am         C+
You're convincing yourself
              Am7     Am/F#   Fmaj7
That there's nobody there, I know
                E7
I know how you feel

Like somebody has taken the wheels off your car
When you had somewhere to go
Well it's annoying
Not going to get very far, I know
But somebody cares

Chorus:
        A         B9          E
There's always someone, somewhere
            F#m7
You should know by now
D                    A
Always somebody who cares
      A            B9      E
It's happening day in, day out
          F#m7
Well you know by now
D                    A
Always somebody who cares

G6/D
If you don't know it
Dm7
How will it find you
Em                      F
How will we know your whereabouts

       Fmaj7        E7
But I know how you feel

I know how you feel

Like somebody has taken the wheels off your car
When you had somewhere to go
Well it's frustrating
Not going to get very far, I know
But somebody cares

Chorus

If you don't know it
How will it find you
How will we know your whereabouts
But I know how you feel
