Lyrics

[Verse 1]
F#m
   Like a jester at the ball
                               A
Rub my shoulders with the kings
                E
And I was draped in gold and velvet
Bathing in applause
            F#m
While I was jumping through the rings
F#m
   And then the cooks would sound a bell
                                       A
And all the kings would lick their lips
      E
But I couldn't find a placemat
The dinner table's full
               F#m
And there's no room for me to sit

[Chorus]
D                           E
 Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
F#m
   Just say you want me,
    E               D
just say you need me
                           E
Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
F#m             E       D
   Does anybody need me?
                        E
Is every last soul just fucking me over?
F#m                              E                     D
   With tears on their shoes and ice on their shoulders
                           E                  F#m
Is there anybody out there looking out for me?

[Verse 2]
F#m
   Lord, I live to entertain
                            A
All my pride is in my praise
           E
I hum along with this vibration
                              F#m
And hope to God I make it, mmh
F#m
   If any chord that I could strum
                            A
Made me feel less like a man
               E
I'd slam my fingers in the doorway
And shatter all the bones
           F#m              E A C#m
So I could never strum again

[Chorus]
D
                     E                     F#m
Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
Oh, just say you want me,
             E      D
just say you need me
                           E
Is there anybody out there looking out for me?

 every last soul just fucking me over?
    F#m                             E
With   tears on their shoes and ice on their shoulders
D                             E
Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
