And recording the Broadway [Db] album gave [Ab] me a chance to work closely with [Db] Stephen Sondheim,
[F] who wrote this next song [Fm] from [Eb] Company.
[Ab] It takes [Db] place in New York [Eb] City.
It's the main character's birthday.
And he's surrounded by his friends, but [Ab] he still feels alone.
And he realizes [Db] that he's never really been in love, you know?
[Bb] And he's at a point in his life where he'd just like to feel something, [Ab] anything.
And his friends say, Bobby, what you need is someone to hold you [F] too close,
[Db] [Eb] someone to hurt you [Bb] too deep,
[Ab] someone to sit in your chair and ruin [Ebm] your sleep
[Bb] and make you aware of being alive,
[Eb] someone to need you too much, someone to [Bb] know you too well,
[Gm] someone to pull you up short and [Ab] put you through hell
[Bb] and give you support for [Db] being alive, [Bbm] being alive, alive.
[Db]
[E] Make me confused, [Ab] mock me with praise,
[Db] make me [E] used, call me [Db] there in my [Bbm] place,
but alone is alone, [A] not alive.
[Gb]
[B] Somebody [E] crowd me with [B] love, somebody force me to care,
somebody [Abm] make me come through, I'll always be there,
bright as you to [Gb] help us survive.
[Dbm] Being alive, being alive, [C] being alive,
[Em] [G] being alive.
[Am] [G] [C] [F] [B]

[Eb] How wonderful.
[N] Thank you, thank you so much.
