INTRO: C E Am Dm G C
          E                   Am       Dm
Somewhere, a lonely girl lies weeping,

  G7               C         Dm
A lonely man tries sleeping,

                   E
But he's getting nowhere

C        E                   Am       Dm
Sometime, it may be close to morning,

    G7                    C        Dm
She thought she heard him calling,

                   E
But there's nobody there
CHORUS:
    F        D           G          G7     G
And somehow, somehow, he knows he's got to try to

     C  Em    Dm                 G
Hold on,  somewhere she's crying for him,

     C  Em    Dm                 G
Hold on,  someday her smile will call him

     C Em         Dm                F
Hold on,  there's someone out there trying for him

         D         G   C
Somehow, sometime, somewhere

          E                  Am       Dm
Somewhere, again she sleeps alone,

     G7               C         Dm
He's reaching for the phone,

                    E
But he's calling no-one.

     C        Em     E7              Am7     Dm
Ooh, sometime, she's dreaming of her lover,

    G7             C      Dm
It really can't be over,

                  E
We've only just begun
CHORUS:
    F        D          G         G7     G
And somehow, somehow, I know I've got to try to

     C   Em  Dm                 G
Hold on, somewhere she's crying for me,

     C  Em    Dm                 G
Hold on,  someday her smile will call me,

     C Em        Dm                F
Hold on, there's someone out there trying for me

         D         G   C Em Dm G
