Bm               Bm7
Help! I need somebody,
G
Help! Not just anybody,
E7
Help! You know I need someone,
A
Help!

A                           C#m                 F#m
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
                         D       G   A
I never needed anybody’s help in any way.
                                 C#m                  F#m
Hut now these days are gone, I’m not so self-assured,
                                      D      G      A
Now I find I’ve changed my mind, I’ve opened up the doors.

Chorus:
     Bm
     Help me if you can, I’m feeling down,
     Bm7   G
     And I do appreciate you being ’round.
     E7
     Help me get my feet back on the ground.
               A
     Won’t you please, please help me?

A                               C#m               F#m
And now my life has changed in, oh, so many ways,
                         D      G      A
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
                         C#m               F#m
Hut every now and then I feel so insecure,
                                       D     G      A
I know that I just need you like I’ve never done before.

Chorus:
     Bm
     Help me if you can, I’m feeling down,
     Bm7   G
     And I do appreciate you being ’round.
     E7
     Help me get my feet back on the ground.
               A
     Won’t you please, please help me?

A                           C#m                 F#m
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
                         D       G   A
I never needed anybody’s help in any way.
                                 C#m                  F#m
Hut now these days are gone, I’m not so self-assured,
                                      D      G      A
Now I find I’ve changed my mind, I’ve opened up the doors.

Chorus:
     Bm
     Help me if you can, I’m feeling down,
     Bm7   G
     And I do appreciate you being ’round.
     E7
     Help me get my feet back on the ground.
               A                     F#m
     Won’t you please, please help me?
                   A
     Help me, help me! Oh.
