D
When everything is going wrong
      Bm
And things are just a little strange
         F#m                    G              D
Its been so long now you've forgotten how to smile
D                                        Bm
And overhead the skies are clear but it still
seems to rain on you
         F#m                    G                D
And your only friends all have better things to do

Chorus:
             G        A
When you're down and lost
         Adim7          Bm
And you need a helping hand
              G       A              D
When you're down and lost along the way
Oh just tell yourself
C           G                D
Ahhhh ahhh ahhh ahh, I'll be ok

Now things are only getting worse
And you need someone to take the blame
When your lover's gone
There's no-one to share the pain
You're sleeping with the TV on
And you're lying in an empty bed
All the alcohol in the world
Would never help me to forget

Chorus:
When you're down and lost
And you need a helping hand
When you're down and lost along the way
Just try a little harder
Try your best to make it through the day
Oh, just tell yourself
I, I'll be OK

A#           C
You're not alone (you're not alone)
You're not alone (you're not alone)
You're not alone

Just tell yourself
I, I'll be OK
Oh, just tell yourself
I, I'll be OK
Won't you tell yourself
Aah

Chorus:
When you're down and lost
And you need a helping hand
When you're down and lost along the way
Try a little harder
Try your best to make it through the day
Oh, just tell yourself
I, I'll be OK
I, I'll be OK
I, I'll be OK
