Helpless Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Em][Bm][C][Am]
[Adim][D][Dm]

[Verse 1]
[Bm]Countless [G]long nights
While I [Bm]stare at the wall
I [C]ask myself over again...
[Am][Adim][F][D]

[Verse 2]
[G]How did I end up
In this little [Bm]hell?
[C]How - did it ever be[Ebm]gin?
[Gb]

[Verse 3]
[Cm]
[Eb]Oh, oh, oh [Bb]oh oh[F] h[Gm]elpes[F]s

[Verse 4]
Helpless to turn back [Em]the clock
That ticks on
With [Bm]its cruel shiny face
[Em]It laughs while [G]it watches
[Gm]My every[Bbm] disgrace - I was
[Ebm]Born a sap - all the
[Bbm]Nurses laughed when they
[F#]Saw me the f[A]irst time
They giggled and they said
"This [F#m]poor little m[A]onster'd be
[F]Better off [Eb]dead."
[Bb]Oh,

[Verse 5]
[F]oh, oh oh [Gm]oh h[F]elpess

[Verse 6]
Helplessly trapped in [Em]a body
I'm sure -
Should have [Bm]never been mine.
I bet that my [G]real one's
[Gm]Doing [Bbm]just fine - and I
[Ebm]Don't belong here, I
[Bbm]Don't belong here - I
[F#]Should be quite [F#m]rich
[A]With a big shi[F#m]ny car
[A]A house wit[F#m]h twelve rooms
[Am]I deserve to g[F]o fa[Fm]r.[Eb]
[Bb]Oh, oh,

[Verse 7]
[F]oh oh [Gm]oh h[F]elpess

[Verse 8]
Helplessly falling [Em]in love
But does love
Really [Bm]last through the night?
[Em]To love - To [G]honor [Gm]-
To kick and [Bbm]to bite! and I
[Ebm]Don't belong here, I
[Bbm]Don't belong here
It's [F#m]all a mistake
[A]I w[F#m]as destined for g[A]reatness
A [F#m]lead er, a p[A]rophet -
They're just too [F]blind to [Fm]notice.

[Verse 9]
[Em]Where did this whole silly [Bm]story begin?
It [C]seems that my mind has gone -
[Am]Blank.
I [A]think [E]tha[Em]t I've messed
up [Bm]a chapter or two.
Per[C]haps it is best if I'm [Ebm]frank!
[Bbm]

[Verse 10]
[Cm]
Oh, [Eb]oh, oh [Bb]oh oh[F] h[Gm]elpes[F]s -

[Verse 11]
Helplessly lost like [Em]that
Poor chap who came
For an [Bm]innocent dance.
He [Em]left with [G]his brain smeared
[Gm]All over[Bbm] his pants! cause he
[Ebm]Didn't belong here, he
[Bbm]Didn't belong here
He [F#]never should've [F#m]left
That [A]warm [F#m]cage i[A]n a zoo!
His face [F#m]was so ugly
[Am]What else [F]could I do?
Can [Cm]you - really blame me, I
[Ebm]Had to smash it.
He left [Cm]me no choice,
He was [Ebm]just like the others.
I [Cm]just had to kill him.
With [Ebm]my poor, dear, old
Mother.

[Verse 12]
[Ebm]Oh, oh[Eb], oh[Bb] oh o[F]h h[Gm]elpess[F]

[Verse 13]
Helplessly fucked in the [Em]as s
By a legion [Bm]of forty ex-cons
That's [Em]That's what it [G]feels like
[Gm]When you w[A#m]alk all over me.
[D#m]Don't belong here, I
[A#m]Don't belong here
Your eye[F#m]s burn right thro[A]ugh me.
They [F#m]fill me with fear.
[A]I could've been a[F#m]t home
Watching foot[A]ball, [F]an d drinking [Eb]beer.
[Bb]Oh, oh,

[Verse 14]
[F]oh oh [Gm]oh h[F]elpess, so Helpless.
