[Intro ]D  Am  C  G 
  
D 
I tried to talk to my piano 
Am 
I tried to talk to my guitar 
C 
Talked to my imagination 
G 
Confided in to alcohol 
D 
I tried and tried and tried some more 
Am 
Told secrets 'til my voice was sore 
C 
Tired of empty conversation 
G 
'Cause no one hears me anymore 
  
D 
A hundred million stories 
  
And a hundred million songs 
       Am 
I feel stupid when I sing 
             C 
Nobody's listening to me 
         G 
Nobody's listening 
D 
I talked to shooting stars 
  
But they always get it wrong 
       Am 
I feel stupid when I pray 
             C 
So, why am I praying anyway? 
            G 
If nobody's listening 
  
D                       Am 
Anyone, please send me anyone 
               C 
Lord, is there anyone? 
       G 
I need someone 
D                    Am 
Anyone, please send me anyone 
               C 
Lord, is there anyone? 
       G 
I need someone 
  
( D   Am   C   G ) 

D 
I used to crave the world's attention 
Am 
I think I cried too many times 
C 
I just need some more affection 
G 
Anything to get me by 
  
D 
A hundred million stories 
  
And a hundred million songs 
       Am 
I feel stupid when I sing 
             C 
Nobody's listening to me 
         G 
Nobody's listening 
D 
I talked to shooting stars 
  
But they always get it wrong 
       Am 
I feel stupid when I pray 
             C 
So, why am I praying anyway? 
            G 
If nobody's listening 

D                       Am 
Anyone, please send me anyone 
               C 
Lord, is there anyone? 
       G 
I need someone 
D                  Am

Oh, anyone, I need anyone 
      C             G 
Oh, anyone, I need someone 
  
D 
A hundred million stories 
  
And a hundred million songs 
       Am 
I feel stupid when I sing 
             C 
Nobody's listening to me 
              G 
Nobody's listening
