D                   F#m 
I know I can't hide this fear inside

Ain't no mystery what I need

Is understanding 
    G                   D 
And your sweet sympathy 
  A            Bm                  G 
A steel string guitar and a little weed 
D              A       Bm     G 
And someone to keep me company 
D          A       D 
Someone to keep me company

Em 
Down the alley and  
A 
Through the stage door

Sometimes I wonder 
A 
What I  
A 
What I do it for
