VERSE 1

A5                                             B5

Though it's me that's on fire not this cigarette

A5                                             B5

I was stabbed in the back by that young suffragette

A5                                       B5

And what do I care if she leaves me alone?

A5                                       B5

If I need somebody, I'll pick up the phone

PRECHORUS

C#5                                      B5

I'll put on my good face, clean up the flat

C#5                                     B5

I'm starting all over, goodbye to all that

E5                                 D5

Put on some music and pour out a drink

C#5                                        B5

I'll go back to bed and I'll try not to think


CHORUS

A5                 B5

Someone to talk to

A5                 B5

Someone to talk to

A5                 B5

Someone to talk to

A5                 B5

Someone to talk to

A5                 B5

Someone to talk to


(Keep same chord structure like above.)
VERSE 2 
She was a person I just couldn't see
And I tried to make her what she couldn't be
We tried and we tried, but of course in the end
I drove her crazy and right 'round the bend

PRECHORUS 2
Now it's too much to just sit here and cry
I can't be seen with a tear in my eye
Why am I standing right next to the phone
When I kept on saying I must be alone?


CHORUS

A5                 B5

Someone to talk to

A5                 B5

Someone to talk to

A5                 B5

Someone to talk to

A5                 B5

Someone to talk to

A5                 B5

Someone to talk to

VERSE 3
I love you, why didn't I say that before?
I guess that it's safe now she's walked through the door
It's hard when you know that you've got to go on
Feeling so weak and pretending you're strong

PRECHORUS 3
I didn't see her, I only felt me
One day I'll learn just which part of me bleeds
Now that she's gone I know she was great
But I fucked it up and now it's too late

CHORUS
Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to
Someone to talk to
...
