Am              Em              Dm        Fmaj7
When a sampled heartbeat and a stolen soul
Am         Em               Dm          Fmaj7
I sold my songs to have my fortune told
            F             C        G               Am
And it said "You should know that love will never die,
     Am         Em               Dm          G  Am    Em
But see how it kills you in the blink of an eye"

I know of love as a hot white light
That knocks you down and then leaves you dry
Oh, how can it be, sweet mama tell me why
Why all love's disciples have to wither and die?

Chorus:
Am            Em               Dm            F
Please sister help me come on do what you should
Am              Em                Dm        F
Please give me something, I'm not doing so good
     F          C              G               Am
I'm gone down wrong, is there nothing you can say?
Am             Em              Dm    G Am
Please sister help me I'm not feeling  ok

Give me belief that my time will come
And a toll-free helpline if I find someone
But she said: "you gave away what you never really had
And now your purse is empty, I can see why you're sad"

Chorus

F            C        G               Am
So if it's true that love will never die
      Am         Em             Dm       G    Am Em
Then why do the lovers work so hard to stay alive
        Em
Please. Oh

Chorus:
Oh please sister, you know I do what I can
Oh sweet mama, please just send me a man
'Cause I'm gone, gone, is there nothing you can give?
Please sister, help me, I just need some love to live

Am Em Dm        F             Am  Em Dm F
        Lust a little love to live
Am Em Dm       F             Am     Em Dm F Am
        And a little love to sail in
