      (Intro) 
B5 B5 Ab5 F#5 x3
E5   F#5

      (Verse 1)
         B5                  Ab5
Here you find me in between
           F#5
Heaven and Hell my dear
      B5                       Ab5         
Where nothing's what it seems
             F#5                      
It's just as well I fear
    B5                     Ab5             
I'm giving you the creeps
      F#5               E5             F#5     
And a farewell kiss to go into the unknown

B5                       Ab5                
Saw you standing there
            F#5                           
Outside the music hall
    B5                      Ab5             
You come out for some air
          F#5                             
Uncertain curtain call
    B5                    Ab5               
And everyone just stared
         F#5             E5                 
When you took the stage that night                                       
F#5                                       
Something's not right

      (Pre-Chorus)                                       
          Ab5            E5                                     
You're up there took the stairs
       B5                C#5                 
To the stars all alone
         Ab5            E5                  
You left all the lights burning
      B5             C#5                    
But nobody'a home
  Ab5            E5              B5        C#5   E5  F#5
I believe they deceived your tuneful heart too long
                                       
Now they sing along

      (Chorus)
B5                    E5
Help me, Help me won't you?
Ab5                 F#5
Sing me, sing me one last song?
B5                 C#5
Help me, Help me, somebody help me
  Ab5     F#5     E5     Em~~~      
Save me from myself

      (Verse 2)
       B5                   Ab5             
Here I find you in between
           F#5                            
Heaven and Hell again
      B5                        G#mm         
Where nothing's what it seems
             F#5                          
It's just as well my friend
    B5                     Ab5              
I'm giving me the creeps
      F#5          E5                   F#5    
And a farewell to arms, and legs, and heads, and hearts

      (Pre-Chorus) 
          Ab5            E5                                     
You're up there took the stairs
       B5                C#5                 
To the stars all alone
         Ab5            E5                  
You left all the lights burning
      B5             C#5                    
But nobody'a home
  Ab5            E5              B5        C#5   E5  F#5
I believe they deceived your tuneful heart too long
                                       
Now they sing along

      (Chorus)
B5                    E5
Help me, Help me won't you?
Ab5                 F#5
Sing me, sing me one last song?
B5                 C#5
Help me, Help me, somebody help me
  Ab5     F#5     E5      
Save me from myself   
  Ab5      F#5       E5
Take me from this Hell, Now they sing along 

      (Bridge)
B5             C#5
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Ab5    F#5     E5
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
B5             C#5
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

          Ab5            E5                                     
You're up there took the stairs
       B5                C#5                 
To the stars all alone
         Ab5            E5                  
You left all the lights burning
      B5             C#5                    
But nobody'a home
  Ab5            E5              B5        C#5   E5  F#5
I believe they deceived your tuneful heart too long
                                       
Now they sing along

      (Chorus)
