Intro: Em G Em G
Em Are you going to help me G or will you let me down?
Em I'm looking for a true love G but am I lost or found?
Em And will we cry in passion G or will we cry in pain?
Em And will our lonely teardrops G fill the world with rain?
Help me Em up, Bm don't you let me C down. Am
I'm gonna G wake up in C heaven, not the Am cold, cold G ground.
Em G Em G
Em Can't you hear the lovers G crying in the night?
Em They spend their whole lives trying; G still can't get it right.
Em I don't know where we're going G but I guess we'll start
Em And just to show that I mean it, G baby here's my heart.
Chorus
(Walk it up hard on the bass: G G B B C C D D)
D Living on my D#º feelings, Em feelings all I G know.
C Baby once we D touch it, we'll C never let it G go.
(I'm guessing on the D#º -- he pulls something weird out of his hat,
and this sounds decent.)
