Some (Eb)sleep less night

To (Eb)set things right

(Fm7)when this old (Bbm7)world’s turned (Cm7)up side (F)down,

(Dbmaj7)let me be the one you run to.

(Cm7)Let me be the one you (F7sus)come to (F)when you (Bbm7)need some one to turn to.

Let me be the (Ab)one.

(Ab)one.

For (D)love and un der (G)stand ing,

Come to (Dbmaj7)me when (Eb)things seem wrong
