This is the John Farnham version of this song. He does it as a massive power
ballad, which is how the singer in our band likes to play it.
[INTRO]
G x 2 bars
[VERSE 1] - Just piano (upper piano register)
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybodyâs help in any way
But now those days are gone, Im not so self assured
Now I find, Ive changed my mind, Ive opened up the door
[CHORUS]
Help me if you can Im feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Wont you please, please help me
[VERSE 2]
And now my life has changed, in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
I know that I need you like Ive never done before
[CHORUS]
Help me if you can Im feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Wont you please, please help me
[BRIDGE]
[VERSE 3] - Just piano (upper piano register)
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybodyâs help in any way
But now those days are gone, Im not so self assured
Now I find Ive changed my mind, Ive opened up the door
[CHORUS]
G (STOP JUST VOCAL) Em (WHOLE BAND COMES IN)
Help me if you can Im feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Wont you please, please help me
Wont you please, please help me
