Em                      G
Are you going to help me or will you let me down?
Em                         G
I'm looking for a true love but am I lost or found?
Em                        G
And will we cry in passion or will we cry in pain?
Em                           G
And will our lonely teardrops
fill the world with rain?

Chorus:
        Em B7                 C   Am
Help me up, don't you let me down
           G          C               Am
I'm gonna wake up in heaven, not the cold,
       G
cold ground

Can't you hear the lovers crying in the night?
They spend their whole lives trying,
still can't get it right
I don't know where we're going but
I guess we'll start
And just to show that I mean it,
baby here's my heart

Chorus

D           D#dim7      Em             G
Living on my feelings, feelings all I know
C             D               C            G
Baby once we touch it, we'll never let it go

So are you going to help me,
or will you let me down?
I'm looking for a true love but am I lost or found?
And will we cry in passion or will we cry in pain?
And will our lonely teardrops fill
the world with rain?
