We’re all look in’ for some thin’

to ease it ev the (Am)pain.

When Now who can you turn to

be when it’s all black and white

and the win ners are los ers?

You see worth fight ’ry (Am)night.

I (Am)need some bod y,

some bod y like (G)you.

Ev ’ry bod y (Am)needs some bod y.

I (Am)need some bod y.

(D)Hey, what a bout (G)you?

Ev ’ry bod y (Am)needs some bod y.

We all (Am)need some bod y.

A noth er night, a noth er les son learned;

But when the si lence leads to sor row,

Is there a karaoke version of "Somebody" with lyrics?
Yes — this is a free karaoke slide for "Somebody" by Bryan Adams. The lyrics appear on screen a line at a time and each word lights up exactly when it's sung, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word. A backing plays underneath so you can just sing.
Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "Somebody" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in C, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Somebody" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
