VERSE:
G5                                 F5
Somewhere along the way I found a meaning
        G5                  C5  G5  D5
woke up dreaming along the way.
G5                                        F5
Never quite seems the same when you're awaking
     G5                                   C5     G5  D5
and making up for the time you've such a price to pay
    D5   D5   D5    G5   C5     G5 D5          D5 D5 D5 G5   C5 G5 D5  G6sus G5
and then they take the dream away, and it just  ain't fair, mama.

CHORUS:

   G6sus               G5            B5                   E5  D5  C5
So help me through the night, mama, help me to ease the pain,
C5           C5     G6sus               Gj7           G5
Tell me it's alright, help me through the night, once again.

VERSE:

    G12                      F5
And that's the danger in pretending, 
G5                              C5       G5      D5
tryin' to defend yourself from someone else's war,
    D5    D5   D5    G5       C5    G5   D5        D5 D5   D5    G5     C5 G5 D5
G6sus G5
you don't know what they're fighting for, and no they just don't care, no.

CHORUS:

   G6sus              G5            B5              E5 D5 C5
So help me to see the light, mama, open my eyes again
C5           C5     G6sus               Gj7         G5
Tell me it's alright, help me through the night, once again.
