version 3








NOTE: This chart is written as if the tempo is a fast 4/4. It could be 
a much slower 4/4 (as in the bridge) with a lot of 8th notes, but I find 
it easier to count it as a fast 4/4.

I write chord charts for my own use as a rhythm guitarist. I don't 
claim they are the "right" way. They're not intended to be taken 
as tabs - which notate exactly how a song was played on a recording.

(OK)

I want someone to come home to, I need somewhere I can sleep.
I need a place where I can rest my weary bones and have a conversation not too deep.

Everybody else busy doin' better than me.
But I can see why it is, they got someone settin' them free.
Someone breakin' the chains, someone letting them be.

I want someone who can save me
when I come home from the zoo.
I need somebody who's a sweet communicator,
(who) I can give my alligator to.

Everybody seems to know what they are talking about.
And I can see why it is,
they got someone breakin' 'em out.
Someone findin' the key.
Someone settin' them free.

Could you be that person for me?
Would you feel right settin' me free?
Could you dare to find my key?

I want someone who can bail me
when I get up to my tricks.
I need somebody used to dealing with a sinner,
whenever I get in a fix.

Everybody else busy doin' better than me.
And I can see why it is, they got someone settin' them free.
Someone breakin' the chains, someone lettin' them be.

Could you be that person for me?
Would you feel right settin' me free?
Could you dare to find my key?
