Intro 1
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 1
I (C major) never (G major) had any
reason for (C major) ambition or (G major) drive (C major)
In fact, I (G major) never had nobody
that (C major) cared if I'm alive (G major) (C major)
But (G major) then one day she came my way
and I (Baug) heard a voice within me say
Don't (C major) let her get away, whatever you (C minor) do
But I (G major) never thought that this could be (C major)
That she (G major) would ever look at me (C major)
Seriously (A minor)
(D major) And that's why, oh (G major) Lord, Lord
I've gotta be some (E minor) body
Yes, I have
I'm down on my (C major) knees
And I'm beggin' please,
please, please, (D major) please
I've gotta win her love for me (E minor) (C major) (G major) (C major)
I grew (G major) up on the sidewalk,
(C major) got along the best I (G major) could (C major)
Mama (G major) worked all day long, (C major)
and Papa was no good (G major) (C major)
I nev (G major) er asked for much before,
but here (Baug) I am in Heaven's door
So (C major) help me please,
don't let her pass me by (C minor)
Cause (G major) I would rather die
than see (C major) her love (G major) turn into sympathy (C major) for me (A minor)
(D major) And that's why I'm cold, (G major)
I've gotta be some (E minor) body
Yes I have, I'm down on my (C major) knees
And I'm begging please, please, please, (D major)
I've got to win her love for (E minor) me (C major) (G major) (C major)
Got to be some (G major) body, yes (C major) I have
Got (G major) to be somebody (C major)
I'm (G major) tired of being a nobody (C major)
Oh (G major) lord, oh lord
You know I gotta be some (E minor) body
Yes I have, down on my (C major) knees
Beggin' please, please, (D major) please
I gotta win her love for me
