[Intro]
[E] [F#] [G#m] ×2


[Verse 1]
           [E]
Well I'm a paralyzed soul 
       [F#]
And I don't know where to go 
              [G#m]
Well I should open my eyes  
Yeah I should open my eyes  

      [E]
I'm a left out only child
       [F#]
The attention gets me high 
        [G#m]
And I'm so unafraid  
I like fortune and fame  

           [E]
And when I hear the sirens coming 
     [F#]
My temperature begins to drop 
       [G#m]
And I'm so unaware  
That my heart's about to stop  


[Chorus]
[G#m]
Hey  
[E]         [B]
Everybody needs somebody  
[F#]
Wants somebody  

[G#m]
Hey  
[E]         [B]
Everybody cracks and bleeds  

So hit your knees  

    [E]
And pray that  
[C#m]            [G#]
Help is on the way  
          [E]
Everybody pray  
     [C#m]            [G#]
That help is on the way

[E] [F#] [G#m] ×2


[Verse 2]
           [E]
Well I can sympathize now  
          [F#]
'Cause I'm finally breathing out  
            [G#m]
But this is not over yet  
No this is not over yet  

     [E]
Even though we're damaged goods  
        [F#]
I would love you if I could  
            [G#m]
But you are so unalarmed  
By my unfortunate charm  

            [E]
And now I'm screaming bloody murder  
       [F#]                 [G#]
As my temperature begins to drop  
       [E]
And my life is going numb  
      [F#]
As my heart's about to stop  


[Chorus]
[G#m]
Hey  
[E]         [B]
Everybody needs somebody  
[F#]
Wants somebody  

[G#m]
Hey  
[E]         [B]
Everybody cracks and bleeds  

So hit your knees  

    [E]
And pray that  
[C#m]            [G#]
Help is on the way  
          [E]
Everybody pray  
     [C#m]            [G#]
That help is on the way  


[Bridge]
      [B]         [F#]              [G#m]
And sometimes I wish you were dead  
            [F#]        [E]
And I'm not even joking  
    [G]                 [B]
I'd put a gun to your head  
             [F#]            [G#m]
And when the world crashes down  
       [F#]              [E]
You'll see it's not so funny  
              [G]          [B]    [F#] [G#m] [F#] [E] [G] [B]
What will you say to the press  


[Chorus / Outro]
[G#m]
Hey  
[E]         [B]
Everybody needs somebody  
[F#]
Wants somebody  

[G#m]
Hey  
[E]         [B]
Everybody cracks and bleeds  

So hit your knees  

    [E]
And pray that  
[C#m]            [G#]
Help is on the way  
          [E]
Everybody pray  
     [C#m]            [G#]
That help is on the way
