Lyrics

(Am9)Who

real ly (F#m9)cares?

Who

real ly (F#m9)cares

when I (Fmaj9)talk,

what I (Dm9)feel,

what I (Fmaj9)say?

(Em7)No bod y, (Dm7)not (C#m7)real ly.

(Am9)Who

wants to (F#m9)take

the time

to un der stand?

I would (Fmaj9)like

some one to hear me with some em pa thy.

I can’t find

(Em7)no bod y, (Dm7)not (C#m7)real ly.

May be I’m in vis i ble to the world.

Does an y one in the world e ven think of me

as more than just a hope less cause?

May be the world is not my block, (Fmaj7)my stoop, my life, (Dm7)my dreams, my an (A)y (Bb9)thing,

an y (E)thing.

(Am9)Who

wants to help?

Ma ma, but she’s so ti red?

Pa pa?

But you’re not here.

All a lone in a big emp ty space with (Em7)no bod y, (Dm7)not (C#m7)real ly.
