Verse 1:
Bb5 Bb5 Bb5 Bb5 
Poor Master Bruce, poor Mr. Wayne, Lonely caboose on a one car train.

Bb5 Bb5 Bb5 Bb5
And it pains me to watch you amble along.This track of loneliness I laid down for you.

Bb5 Bb5                                                   
I remember that horrible night, the night you were split in two. And I swore I'd protect 

Bb5 Bb5
you (and I haven't).

Bb5 Bb5 Bb5 
So I built a wall all around you, but the wall was too tall And it blocked out all  

           Bb5
Of the birds and the sun.

Chorus:

  C#5   F5                                                
I tried to raise you right, I tried to raise you proper.

Bbminor  B5
I tried to be a mentor and a friend, and a mama and a papa too.

F#5  F#5 C#5
And insulate you from any outside source of fright.

Eb5 Ebminor                                       
And make bloody certain you'll never see another
 
 C#5                        
Dark, sad, lonely night.

Verse 2:
As I look at my life I see something's not right
Like a thousand percent.
And I wonder what it is, how it is that it's always just me here
Crying alone at the end of the night, ten thousand percent.

Put most of the blame on Alfred.
How come he couldn't take the bullet intended for mama and papa?
I never had a pony. I never had pets.
Just a bullshit butler, who builds bullshit jets.

Chorus:

 C#5  F5                             
Oh! I'm falling apart, I need a friend.

 Bbmin  B5
Somebody to hold on to. Somebody to confide in.

F#5  F#5 C#5                        
Think of the children, next time you gun down their mama and papa.

 Eb5  Eb5 C#5                                   
Because they probably don't have another mama and papa.

                                          
Verse 3:
I was seein' a girl for a while, a couple days anyway
And I told her I loved her.
She said you're such a good friend and that rash is bad
You should really go see a doctor.

Then she just disappeared, sent me some text about bad timing
And my love being selfish.
Then my doctor called up and the blood came back and as it turns out
I'm allergic to peanuts and shellfish.
I loved peanuts and shellfish once.

Chorus:

 C#5 F5                             
I'm falling apart, I'm lacking punch.

 Bbmin B5
I can barely eat. This morning I barely touched my brunch.

F#5 F#5 C#5
Two spoons of oatmeal, a couple of nuts, and half a banana.

 Eb5 Eb5  C#5                                   
And like my soul, the banana was bruised and black.

 C#5 F5                             
I'm falling apart, I need a friend.

 Bbmin B5
Somebody to hold on to. Somebody to confide in.

F#5 F#5  C#5
Somebody to ride in the cockpit Co-captain of the friendship ship. Or maybe just a friend ship.

Eb5 Eb5 C#5                                   
If I had a buddy, we could discuss, Just what we call a friendship.

End:
Eb5                                   
I want to be somebody's buddy
Ab5
Somebody who can be my buddy back.
Eb5
I want to be somebody's buddy
Bb5
Anybody but a dumbshit butler.
(repeated 5x)

Batman:
I want to be somebody's buddy.
