F#m                  Bm
 If I fall along the way
E                       F#m
 pick me up and dust me off.
                          Bm
and if I get too tired to make it
E                      F#m  [nc]
 be my breath so I can walk
                     Bm
If I need some other love
E                        F#m
 give me more than I can stand
                               Bm
and when my smile gets old and faded
E                         A
 wait around I'll smile again

[Pre-chorus]
                      F#m   
shouldn't be so complicated
                 Bm           / / / /  A
just hold me and then - just hold me again

[Chorus]
                    F#m                            D

If I couldn't sleep could you sleep_
E                          F#m
 could you paint me better off_
                          Bm
could you sympathize with my needs__
E                          A
 I know you think I need a lot

[Pre-chorus]
                            F#m   
I started out clean but I'm jaded
                 Bm           / / / /  A
just phoning it in  just breaking the skin
