Standard (EADGBE)

X2

 I NEVER NOTICED THE WAY YOU’D LOOK AT ME IN PICTURES,

 OR THE WAY THE WAVES REACH GENTLY ON THE TIDE.

 I’VE ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT PEOPLE REALLY WANT TO SAY,

 BEHIND ALL THOSE FEELINGS OUR OWN FACES SEEM TO HIDE.

Chorus

YOU GOTTA HELP ME UNDERSTAND

WHAT IT’S LIKE TO HAVE LIFE SLIP AWAY RIGHT OUT OF YOUR HANDS

YOU HAVE TO HELP ME MAKE IT ON MY OWN

 BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE, AND I FIND OUT MORE THAN MY MIND CAN

 KNOW, THAT I’M ALONE, ALONE, ALONE.

 EVERYONE SAYS THAT WE ONLY HAVE EACHOTHER

 WHEN IT’S REALLY EACHOTHER WE ONLY WISH WE HAD

 CAUSE WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, EACH LITTLE BIT OF OUR LIVES,

 IS SEPARATED ONTO THE PAGES, THAT NO ONE EXPLAINS BUT “I”.

Chorus

YOU GOTTA HELP ME UNDERSTAND

WHAT IT’S LIKE TO HAVE LIFE SLIP AWAY RIGHT OUT OF YOUR HANDS

YOU HAVE TO HELP ME MAKE IT ON MY OWN

 BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE, AND I FIND OUT MORE THAN MY MIND CAN

 KNOW, THAT I’M ALONE, ALONE, ALONE.

 WOULD’VE NEVER FELT THIS FEELING IF I DIDN’T LOSE YOU,

 BUT YOU DID WHAT YOU HAD TO, DO FOR YOURSELF.

 AND NOW I KNOW THE MEANING, OF BEING BY MYSELF,

 AND TAKING TIME TO TELL WHO I REALLY AM.

Chorus

YOU GOTTA HELP ME UNDERSTAND

WHAT IT’S LIKE TO HAVE LIFE SLIP AWAY RIGHT OUT OF YOUR HANDS

YOU HAVE TO HELP ME MAKE IT ON MY OWN

 BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE, AND I FIND OUT MORE THAN MY MIND CAN

 KNOW, THAT I’M ALONE, ALONE, ALONE.
