As recorded by Status Quo (From the 1973 Album HELLO!) [Intro] F [Verse 1]
F                                  C
I felt in need of some loving so I sat down on a wall

                                           F
I tried to find a reason for living, but I couldn't find a reason at all

     Bb                         F
So I owned up to my maker and I started to say a prayer

  C                              F                     C   Bb   F
I waited for an answer but there wasn't anybody there
[Verse 2]
F                                               C
I thought there should have been someone, but I wasn't quite sure who

                                                     F
It finished me to find there was no-one that I could take my troubles to

     Bb                             F
So I knelt down by my bedside and I started to say a prayer

       C                                F
It was when I asked for nothing I could feel that there was somebody there

F                                       C
I'm looking still, but it's easy 'cos I know which way to go

                                                    F
It doesn't matter how long it takes me 'cos there's someone there to help me who knows

        Bb                              F
All the things that I am after, all the loving that I want to share

     C                                   F
It's so hard but I don't mind 'cos there really is someone there
[Verse 4]
F                                  C
I felt in need of some loving so I sat down on a wall

                                           F
I tried to find a reason for living, but I couldn't find a reason at all

     Bb                         F
So I owned up to my maker and I started to say a prayer

  C                              F
I waited for an answer but there wasn't anybody there
