(quick) is a single strum then mute
[Intro]
A - D (barre)
[Verse 1]
I was not ready for the Bmroad D
I was so discontent to wAear that heavy load
And so I got down on my Bmknees E
I made a sucker's prayer
A grim bode of Baudelaire before A(quick)
[Verse 2]
And when nobody did respBmond D
I took my glasses off and Awent to find a pond
Stuffing rocks into the Bmpockets of my pants E
And when I waded in
Those currents carried them away A(quick)
[Chorus]
I wanna love somA(quick)ebody but I don't know how Bm D
I've been so long lonely and it's getting me dAown
I wanna throw my bA(quick)ody in the river and drBmown E
I wanna love somebody but I don't know hAow
[Verse 3]
So if you're lost along the Bmway D
And if you're thinking that will Aalways be the case
Won't you listen to my Bmplea? E
You'll make a sucker's prayer
Just go and leave it that-a-way A(quick)
[Chorus]
I wanna love somA(quick)ebody but I don't know how Bm D
I've been so long lonely and it's getting me dAown
I wanna throw my bA(quick)ody in the river and drBmown E
I wanna love somebody but I don't know hAow
