F
Someone was crying and the bells ring
C
Then I don't remember a thing
Am G
You were talking, but the words came from somebody else
F
Someone said kiss her and so you did
C
I was smiling like a little kid
Am G
You kissed my teeth and then we both hid inside each other's arms
[Chorus]
F
All you really need is someone to be here
C
Someone who'll never let you disappear
Am G F
And I will be that witness to your life
This may just be a softer place to fall
C
But somebody will answer when you call
Am G F
And I will be that witness to your life
[Verse 2]
F
You got that job and joined the union
C
Fought every urge that told you to run
Am G
Stared down the barrel of an empty gun and wondered a bit
F
Stopped listening to all your friends
C
They think this is where life begins and ends
Am G
No one reaches, no one transcends they just learn to live with it
[Chorus]
F
All you really need is someone to be here
C
Someone who'll never let you disappear
Am G F
And I will be that witness to your life
This may just be a softer place to fall
C
But somebody will answer when you call
Am G F
And I will be that witness to your life
[Chorus]
F
All you really need is someone to be here
C
Someone who'll never let you disappear
Am G F
And I will be that witness to your life
Am G F
Baby, I will be that witness to your life
[Verse 3]
F
Up the road your car comes into view
C
And from our front lawn I just smile at you
Am C
Another day I thank the fates that you took the right road home___
