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 anybody’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 BRIDGE F G F G F G F C D VERSE 3 - Just piano (upper piano register) G Em When I was younger, so much younger than today C D I never needed anybody’s help in any way G Em But now those days are gone, Im not so self assured C Am D Now I find Ive changed my mind, Ive opened up the door CHORUS G (STOP JUST VOCAL) Em (WHOLE BAND COMES IN) 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 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
