Intro
[Amaj7] [F#m7] [Bm9] [E9]
[Amaj7] [F#m7] [Bm9] [E7b9]
Verse 1
[Amaj7] [Dmaj7] [C#m7] [E9]
When I walk in your shoes, I understand a man confused.
[Amaj7] [Dmaj7]
There must have been, but I don't care,
[C#m7] [E9]
I feel the way your soul does there.
[Amaj7] [Dmaj7] [C#m7] [E9]
Darling, they empathise, looking through your bloodshot eyes.
[Amaj7] [Dmaj7]
And I know you; you're so frustrated,
[C#m7] [F#7b9]
But we all become what we once hated.
Bridge 1
[Bm7] [E7] [Bm7] [E7]
Besides, nobody, can be that wise.
Chorus 1
[Amaj7] [F#m7] [Bm9] [E9] [Amaj7] [F#m7] [Bm9] [E9]
I can't help you, if you won't help yourself.
[Amaj7] [F#m7] [Bm9] [E9] [Amaj7] [F#m7] [Bm9] [E9]
I can't help you, if you won't help yourself.
[Amaj7] [F#m7] [Bm9] [E9] [Amaj7] [F#m7] [Bm9] [E9]
You can only get, so much from someone else.
[Amaj7] [F#m7] [Bm9] [E9] [Amaj7] [F#m7] [Bm9] [E9]
I can't help you, if you won't help yourself.
Verse 2
[Amaj7] [Dmaj7]
You've got a degree, a-in philosophy,
[C#m7] [E9]
So you think you're cleverer than me.
[Amaj7] [Dmaj7]
But I'm not just some drama queen,
[C#m7] [E9]
'Cos it's where you're at; not where you've been.
[Amaj7] [Dmaj7] [C#m7] [E9]
So what do you expect from me, to hold your head above the sea?
[Amaj7] [Dmaj7]
And carry you even though you're bigger,
[C#m7] [F#7b9]
'Cos don't you know you crush my tiny figure?
Bridge 2
[Bm7] [E7] [Bm7] [E7]
And anyway, we're still so young, and this isn't yesterday.
Chorus 2
[Amaj7] [F#m7] [Bm9] [E9] [Amaj7] [F#m7] [Bm9] [E9]
I can't help you, if you won't help yourself.
[Amaj7] [F#m7] [Bm9] [E9] [Amaj7] [F#m7] [Bm9] [E9]
I can't help you, if you won't help yourself.
[Amaj7] [F#m7] [Bm9] [E9] [Amaj7] [F#m7] [Bm9] [E9]
You can only get, so much from someone else.
[Amaj7] [F#m7] [Bm9] [E9] [Amaj7] [F#m7] [Bm9] [E9]
I can't help you, if you won't help yourself.
Break
[Dmaj7] [Cdim]
You might be twenty five, but in my mind,
[Amaj7] [E/G#] [F#7]
I see you as sixteen years old most the time.
[Dmaj7] [Cdim]
And I'm just a child, and you're full grown,
[Bm7] [E9]
And you are like nothing I've ever known.
Outro
[Amaj7] F#m7, [Bm9] E9, [Amaj7] F#m7, [Bm9] [E7b9]
(Repeat to Fade)
