                   Em
If the night turned cold and the stars looked down
And you hugh yourself on the cold cold ground
              Am7                     Bm7
You wake the morning in a stranger's coat
                 Em
No one would you see

            Am7                   Bm7
You ask yourself, who'd watch for me
         Em                  A/C#
My only friend, who could it be
              C
It's hard to say it
           B7                       Em
I hate to say it, but it's probably me

When your belly's empty and the hunger's so real
And you're too proud to beg and too dumb to steal
You search the city for your only friend
No one would you see

You ask yourself, who could it be
A solitary voice to speak out and set you free
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me

       Am7                      D
You're not the easiest person I ever got to know
          G                           G       Am7 Em D Am7
And it's hard for us both to let our feelings show
                  Bm7
Some would say I should let you go your way
            G
You'll only make me cry

               Am7    Bm7    G
If there's one guy, just one guy
      Em                            A/C#
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
              C
It's hard to say it
             B7                        Em
It's hard to say it, but it's probably me

When the world's gone crazy and it makes no sense
There's only one voice that comes to your defense
The jury's out and your eyes search the room
And one friendly face is all you need to see

               Am7   Bm7      G
If there's one guy, just one guy
      Em                            A/C#
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
              C
It's hard to say it
           B7                       Am7 A7
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
           C
I hate to say it
           B7                       Am7 A7
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
