[Intro]
C  D  Dm
D  Bb C  D
 
[Verse 1]
D
I'm filling up inside
                    Bb
Like I need to open wide
    Am7                  D
And pour my heart out to you
 
But I'll just get denied
                         Bb
And all I wanted was someone to hear
     Am7       D   D7
What I'm going through
 
[Chorus 1]
D
Every time that I need you around
   C         Bb           C
You're never there (never there)
             D
You're never there (never there)
D
Because in my life is where I need you now
                 Bb           C
But you're never there (never there)
             Fm             Bb
You're never there (never there)
 
[Verse 2]
D
You were supposed to see
                        Bb
All the signs I left to read
    C            D
In front of your face
 
You were supposed to be
                           Bb
The closest thing to being me
    Am7                  D  D7
But you're the furthest away
 
That's because
 
[Chorus 2]
D
Every time that I need you around
             Bb           C
You're never there (never there)
             D
You're never there (never there)
D
Because in my life is where I need you now
                 Bb           C
But you're never there (never there)
             Ab
You're never there (never there)
Bb           D
You're never there
 
You're never there
 
[Bridge]
      Bb
And I doubt
     F           Bb
That I will ever find out
   F                Bb
If there's a way to get out
F               D
Of feeling all alone
      Bb
Cause lately
F                  Bb
I've been thinking maybe
F                      Bb
That no one's going to save me
F                D
I'll do it on my own
 
On my own, on my own
 
[Chorus 3]
D
Every time that I need you around
   C         Bb           C
You're never there (never there)
             D
You're never there (never there)
D
Because in my life is where I need you now
    C            Bb           C
But you're never there (never there)
             Fm             Bb
You're never there (never there)
                          C
You're never there (never there)
             Ab           Bb
You're never there (never there)
             D
You're never there
 
You're never there
