Verse 1:

C          G   C                  A       G          C                   

      G                        F     G

I'm all alone,   and I can't be without you,   can you feel this pain

that's in my heart?

C                G   C                    A           G        C

It's been so long,   since I have had you near me,   and it is tearing me

apart





CHORUS:

C                            A                                   D       

                           F*

I wanna be with you, I wanna change my life, I wanna help somebody, you

know I've got the time

C                                            A

I know there's pain inside you, don't want another girl 

D                                                    F*

You don't like the earth we live on?  then I will change the world

Well, it's true,   that I can say I love you,   with all that's left

inside my soul

C

You're the only one     that makes me laugh instead of cry,  

                        G                             F         G

You're the only one that makes me whole





(CHORUS)





BRIDGE:  (lots of scratching)

                  A                       C                              

      G                                   

I want the world, I'll take control, I'll try to make things right, I

won't turn out the lights

             G                        A

I won't turn my back on you

                           C                        G                    

                 F

When things go down, I'll turn it all around, turn a smile from a frown

             G                     C

That's what I'm gonna do





Solo (I think):

IMPORTANT:In order for the solo to sound right, the first time you hit

the 6th fret on the B string, play it regular, but every time you hit the

6th fret after that, bend the string before you pluck

B---------4----6-4-------4-66-4--------6666-4--6666-4-----4---4---6-4-------------B

G--3/5-5--5-3----5-3-5---------5-3-5----------5---------5-5--55--5------5-3-5-3---G





(CHORUS)





Lead part near the end:





B--6-5----B

G------5--G   till the end of the song
