                                        This is the John Farnham version of this song.  He does it as a massive power 
ballad, which is how the singer in our band likes to play it.


INTRO

G x 2 bars

VERSE 1 - Just piano (upper piano register)
 G                            Em
When I was younger, so much younger than today
 C                        D
I never needed anybodyâ??s help in any way
 G                              Em
But now those days are gone, Im not so self assured
 C                                     D
Now I find, Ive changed my mind, Ive opened up the door

CHORUS
 G                             Em
Help me if you can Im feeling down
       C                        D
And I do appreciate you being round
 G                                Em
Help me get my feet back on the ground
           C       D         F
Wont you please, please help me

VERSE 2
 G                              Em
And now my life has changed, in oh so many ways
C                          D
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
 G                        Em
But every now and then I feel so insecure
C                                 D
I know that I need you like Ive never done before


CHORUS

 G                             Em
Help me if you can Im feeling down
       C                        D
And I do appreciate you being round
 G                                Em
Help me get my feet back on the ground
           C       D         F
Wont you please, please help me

But now those days are gone, Im not so self assured

Now I find Ive changed my mind, Ive opened up the door
