   D     G       D       A   D       G      D    A
Hello to who I'm talkin' to, no more automation

    D      G        D       A           D        G     D    A
I'm hoping you can walk me through, and solve my situation

           Bm            G                     D     A
It's after midnight, and I've been on hold so long

G                     A                     D    G   D   A
You broke through the silence now I'm not alone
[Verse 2]
        D     G      D        A       D       G       D    A
You're asking me to help you see, the words begin to flow

         D      G       D       A         D       G      D    A
This was not my plan or my intention, and how was I to know?

            Bm            G                          D     A
For such a short time, I feel I've known you for so long

G                    A             D    G   D   A
I don't think I can make it on my own
[Chorus]
   G        D      G         D
So send somebody, 'cause I'm stranded

            G        A          G     A
And there's no place left where I can run,

 G        D      G         D           G
Send somebody, 'cause I'm hanging by a thread

        A           G         A
Now the whole damn thing's undone
[Instrumental] D G D A D G D A [Verse 3]
    D       G       D        A            D    G        D      A
You have to know I can't let go, now I've made this connection

     D       G        D         A       D      G      D    A
You see the love that runs the show, or random speculation

           Bm            G           D     A
In my desperation I'm a danger to myself

            G           A                    D    G   D   A
I need your direction, yeah, I need someone else
[Chorus]
   G        D      G         D
So send somebody, 'cause I'm stranded

            G        A          G     A
And there's no place left where I can run,

 G        D      G         D           G
Send somebody, 'cause I'm hanging by a thread

        A           G         A
Now the whole damn thing's undone

         Bm             G                   D     A
From my window, as the leaves begin in the fall

   G                  A                     Bm7
Before the cold wind comes, please hear my call
[Chorus]
    G        D      G         D
And send somebody, 'cause I'm stranded

            G        A          G     A
And there's no place left where I can run,

 G        D      G         D           G
Send somebody, 'cause I'm hanging by a thread

        A           G         A
Now the whole damn thing's undone

 G        D      G         D
Send somebody, 'cause I'm stranded

            G        A          G     A
And there's no place left where I can run,

 G        D      G         D           G
Send somebody, 'cause I'm hanging by a thread

        A     G      A
Now before I come undone

                        somebody                      send someone

Dsus4 F# D Dsus4  D  A       D   Dsus4 F# D Dsus4  D   A       D
                    Send somebody                     send someone
