C#
We're staying up
We're gonna watch the sun come out
Fm
Everyone's here
The silver's slipping through the clouds
A#m          F#
I pull this moment close
    C#                     G#
Is that me running out of hope?

D#m
I'm holding on to patience, undefined
G#
We're a world of strangers, chasing signs
D#m                             G#
Hear this complicated heart of mine

Chorus:
              C#
Oh-oh, oh-oh, all I want
                    Fm
Is someone when the night is long
               A#m             F#
Half a lonely soul to make me whole
                  C#          G#
'Cause everybody needs someone

That's all it takes
A simple little twist of fate
A little spark
Some strength to keep your heart from breaking when
You get so close
'Cause breaking comes and breaking goes

I'm holding on to patience, losing time
We're a world of strangers, chasing signs
Hear this complicated heart of mine (Woah, oh)

Chorus:
Oh-oh, oh-oh, all I want
Is someone when the night is long
Half a lonely soul to make me whole
'Cause everybody needs someone
Oh-oh, oh-oh, all I want
Is someone when the crowd is gone
To see that I'm alone, to take me home
'Cause everybody needs someone

D#m
Yeah, we all need somebody
F#
Yeah, I got you if you got me
D#m
Yeah, we all need somebody
F#              G#
Yeah, I got you if you got me
F#          G#
Yeah, we all need somebody

Chorus:
All I want
Is someone when the night is long
Half a lonely soul to make me whole
'Cause everybody needs someone, oh-oh
All I want
Is someone when the crowd is gone
To see that I'm alone, to take me home
'Cause everybody needs someone

All I want
Is someone when the night is long
Half a lonely soul to make me whole
'Cause everybody needs someone
We all need someone
