              G                D                   G           C
Somebody's gotta scratch your back, in the places you can't reach
Em                    D/F#            G                   C
Say something that'll make you laugh, when that's exactly what you need,
                  Em D              C
And I hope that's me, I hope that's me.
 
G                D             G                     C
Somebody's gonna get dressed up and take you out for Valentine's,
Em          D/F#                   G                C
Get lots of jealous looks thinking that's one lucky guy,
                  Em D              C G
And I hope that's me, I hope that's me.

And you, you keep on wondering who, is gonna love you like I already
F C Am         G/B                   F   C            D
do, and I keep wondering when you'll see, that eventually.
 
G                D
Somebody's gotta throw on a coat
G                      C
when your fever hits a hundred and two,
Em                    D/F#
go down and pick your prescr i ption up,
G                 C
and come home and fix you soup,
                  Em D              C
And I hope that's me, I hope that's me.
 
G                D
Somebody's gonna buy a ring,
G                C
Somebody's gonna make you cry,
Em               D/F#
Somebody's gonna lift that veil,
           G              C
And get to look into your eyes,
                  Em D              C  G
And I hope that's me, I hope that's me.

Cause you, you keep on wondering who, is gonna love you like I already
F C Am         G/B                   F   C             D
do, and I keep wondering when you'll see, maybe eventually.
 
( G D G C Em D/F# G C Em D C G )
 
G            D
Old man on a front porch swing,
G               C
Looking back on his long life,
Em               D/F#
Glass of ice tea in his hand,
G         C
Other arm around his wife.
 
                  Em D               C
And I hope that's you, I hope that's me.
              Em D                   C
I hope that's you, and I hope that's me.

I hope that's you, and I hope that's me.
