Intro:

Amaj7  F#m7, Bm9  E9
Amaj7  F#m7, Bm9  E7b9

Verse 1:

Amaj7        Dmaj7
 When I walk in your shoes,
  C#m7         E9
I understand a man confused.
      Amaj7
There must have been,
    Dmaj7
But I don't care,
  C#m7
I feel the way,
     E9
Your soul does there.

Amaj7          Dmaj7
 Darling, they empathise,
C#m7
 Looking through,
     E9
Your bloodshot eyes.
Amaj7
 And I know you;
       Dmaj7
You're so frustrated,
C#m7
 Above we all become,
     F#7b9
What we once hated.

Bridge 1:

   Bm7    E7 
Be-sides, nobody,
    Bm7           E7
Can be that wise.

Chorus 1:

Amaj7         F#m7
 I can't help you,
Bm9
 If you won't,
E9         Amaj7  F#m7  Bm9  E9
 Help your-self.

Amaj7         F#m7
 I can't help you,
Bm9
 If you won't,
E9         Amaj7  F#m7  Bm9  E9
 Help your-self.

Amaj7         F#m7
 You can only get,
Bm9      E9
 So much from,
        Amaj7  F#m7  Bm9  E9
Someone else.

Amaj7         F#m7
 I can't help you,
Bm9
 If you won't,
E9         Amaj7  F#m7  Bm9  E7b9
 Help your-self.

Verse 2:

Amaj7
 You've got a degree,
  Dmaj7
A-in philosophy,
C#m7
 So you think,
              E9
You're clever-er than me.
    Amaj7
But I'm not just,
     Dmaj7
Some drama queen,
          C#m7
'Cos it's where you're at,
    E9
Not where you've been.

   Amaj7
So what do you,
   Dmaj7
Ex-pect from me,
   C#m7
To hold your head,
  E9
A-bove the sea?
    Amaj7
And carry you,
     Dmaj7
Even though you're bigger,
     C#m7
'Cos don't you know,
             F#7b9
You crush my tiny figure?

Bridge 2:

    Bm7
And anyway,
      E7
We're still so young,
    Bm7        E7
And this isn't yesterday.

Chorus 2:

Amaj7         F#m7
 I can't help you,
Bm9
 If you won't,
E9         Amaj7  F#m7  Bm9  E9
 Help your-self.

Amaj7         F#m7
 I can't help you,
Bm9
 If you won't,
E9         Amaj7  F#m7  Bm9  E9
 Help your-self.

Amaj7         F#m7
 You can only get,
Bm9      E9
 So much from,
        Amaj7  F#m7  Bm9  E9
Someone else.

Amaj7         F#m7
 I can't help you,
Bm9
 If you won't,
E9         Amaj7  F#m7  Bm9  E7b9
 Help your-self.

Break:

Dmaj7
 You might be twenty five,
    Cdim
But in my mind,
Amaj7         E/G#
 I see you as sixteen years old,
F#7
 Most of the time.

Dmaj7
 And I'm just a child,
Cdim
 And you're full grown,
    Bm7
And you are like nothing,
     E9
I've ever known.

Outro:

Amaj7  F#m7, Bm9  E9
