C#m
Always a loner
G
Always alone
F#m
Not sure I can make it
D                G
I'm expected at home

Or somewhere important
I promised to be
Catch up with you next time
Definitely

Chorus:
 Bm  F# A      E
Make me understand
Bm                   E
Give me a fighting chance
 Bm  F# A       E
Show me if you can
G           C#m7-5  F#
Words for a wayward man

Can we talk later?
I'll give you a ring
I'm in the middle
Of nothing

Explain if you will
If it's no bother
Like what one man
Would do to another

Chorus:
Make me understand
Give me a fighting chance
Show me if you can
Words for a wayward man
Make me understand
Show me the masterplan
Give me a helping hand
I'm lost in this monster-land

Make me understand
Give me a fighting chance
Show me if you can
Words for a wayward man
Make me understand
Show me the masterplan
Give me a helping hand
I'm lost in this monster-land
