Chorus:
    B                              F# G#m
Sometimes, I just need a little help
                          E
Why do I try to take the world on by myself?
    B                                F# G#m
I'm asking you, please, a little help
                                E
Tell me you'll be there when I need somebody else
        B
I need help!
  F#   G#m  E
I need help!

         B
Self-sufficient, self-reliant
All my life, yeah, I've been trying
F#    G#m                          E
To depend on no one else but only me
         B
I got strong and ended up
Believing I was strong enough
      F#     G#m                           E
Yeah, I was young and young is always so naive

         E                    F#
When my demons start speaking up
         G#m                     B
When the bills, they keep adding up
          E                 F#
When the tables run out of luck

Chorus

Call me crazy, call me lazy
Been neurotic sometimes, maybe
But the wolves are at my heels, this time for real
Call me, please, and call me soon
'Cause I don't know what I should do
When all my energy is spent just tryna deal

When my demons start speaking up
When the bills, they keep adding up
When the tables run out of luck

Chorus

I need help!
I need help!

When my demons start speaking up
When the bills, they keep adding up
When the tables run out of luck

Chorus

I need help,
I need help
I need help
