[Opening]
If I lost it [A]all today, what would you take?

Shit hit the [C#m]fan, grenades got thrown
Would you still show, oh?
Could you go [A]down with me into the night?
Could we get back [F#m]up beneath, eventually love?[C#m]
[chorus]
[A]Oh, I get myself [F#m]tonight, I get myself [C#m]tonight, oh
Oh, I get myself tonight

We are just [A]looking for a connection
Yeah, we all [F#m]want to be seen
I’m looking for [C#m]someone who speaks my language
Someone to ride this ride with me
Can I get a [A]witness, witness?
Will you be my [F#m]witness, witness?
I’m just looking for a [C#m]witness in all of this
Looking for a witness to get me through this
