Intro:

Bbm              G#

Help! I need somebody 

F#                Fm

Help! Not just anybody

Ebm

Help! You know I need someone,

G# (hold)

Help!





Verse 1:

G#                            Cm

  When I was younger, so much younger than today,

Fm                         C#m     F#  G#

  I never needed anybody's help in any way.

G#                                Cm

  But now those days are gone I'm not so self-assured,

Fm                                      C#     F#     G#

  Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the door.





Chorus:

Bbm                                 Bbm-G#

Help me if you can I'm feeling down.

      F#                              F#-Fm

And I do appreciate you being 'round.

Ebm

Help me get my feet back on the ground.

          G# (hold)          G#

Won't you please please help me.





Verse 2:

G#                               Cm

  And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,

Fm                          C#m    F#     G#

  My independence seemed to vanish in the haze.

G#                         Cm

  But every now and then I feel so insecure,

Fm                                 C#         F#     G#

  I know that I just need you like I've never done before.





[Repeat Chorus]
