To Love Somebody - Ray Lamontagne & Damien Rice - Chords and Lyrics -

Originally sung by the Bee Gee’s – I quite enjoy this version of “To Love Somebody” by Ray Lamontagne & Damien Rice and I reckon every songbook4guitar should have this one in it.

Chords: G-Am-C-F-D

G

There is a light

A certain kind of light

C G

That never shone on me

F G

I wanted my life to be

Live with you

G There is a way

Am Everybody says

C-G Do each and every thing

F-G Oh but what good does it bring

D If I ain't got you

C If I ain't got... baby

chorus

G D

You don't know what it's like

C G

Baby, you don't know what it's like

To love somebody

The way I love you

G In my brain

Am I see your face again

C-G I know my frame of mind

F-G How you got to be so unkind

D-C And I'm blind, have I grown blind

G-Am But I'm a man, can't you see what I am

C-G I live and I breathe for you

F-G Oh but what good does it do
