IF I COULD JUST GET A HUG

E                C#m                 A           B…                                                               
My body’s achin’ and I’m feeling alone
I’m so damn healthy but I’m stayin’ at home
It’s been a month now I’ve been keeping my space
          A                                      B                         E  C#m  A  B
And just to be sure  I’ll keep staying in place  Yeah…

Some people struggle with this staying at home
I’m not so bothered cause I do live alone
But there’s one thing I surely miss it so much
I’ve got no human to human no tender touch

 E              C#m         A   B   E…
 If I could just get a hug    

 I would forget about the crazy old bug
 My pillows do help me feel cozy at night
                       A                                           B                              E  C#m…
 But they are no substitute they bring me little delight    like a hug

Can you remember your last time?
You got to snuggle bet it felt so fine
A hand upon the back a rub and a squeeze
Would bring a smile to my face so someone please please please

 E              C#m         A   B   E…
 If I could just get a hug     

 A wrap around me like a fine Persian rug
 My pillows do help me feel cozy at night
                       A                                           B                              E  C#m…
 But they are no substitute they bring me little delight    like a hug
