Can You Help Me

A                                           D
I tried to run away but I was frozen in place
 A                                                            D
My body was made of sawdust and my heart just split
A                                                       D
My old friend rigor mortis started to breathe in my face
A                                                    D
 The air started to drain out of my spirit

         D      F#m    Bm
Help me,

       D        F#m   Bm
can you     help    me?

A                                              D
A century of my tears wouldn’t even fill a thimble
A                                                      D
The war of the class clown is never won
A                                          
 But nothing makes me laugh anymore
D
And nothing makes me cry
A                                                  D
And nothing makes me feel like I belong

         D      F#m    Bm
Help me,

       D        F#m   Bm
can you     help    me?
  

A                                                             D
I can’t believe all the stupid things I’m saying now
A
Either I’ve shaken the world off my back
D
or I’ve gone senile
A                                     D
I thought your love was just a great big lie
A                                          D
Now loving you is the only thing that’s gonna get me by

         D      F#m    Bm
Help me,

       D        F#m   Bm

D                F#m             Bm
All I have to offer you is archeology and Christmas
D                                    F#m                                 Bm
And we’ll turn our backs on what the world has in store
D                            F#m        Bm
And twist the light so that it shines down on us
D                                   F#m                          Bm
And wait together for the touch of something more

         D      F#m    Bm
Help me,

       D        F#m   Bm
can you     help    me?
