Verse 1:

Amaj7        Dmaj7
 When I walk in your shoes,
  C#m7         E9
I understand a man confused.
      Amaj7               Dmaj7
There must have been, but I don't care,
  C#m7              E9
I feel the way your soul does there.

Amaj7          Dmaj7
 Darling, they empathise,
C#m7                  E9
 Looking through your bloodshot eyes.
Amaj7                   Dmaj7
 And I know you; you're so frustrated,
C#m7                        F#7b9
 Besides we all become what we once hated.

Bridge 1:

Amaj7         F#m7
 I can't help you,
Bm9           E9        Amaj7  F#m7  Bm9  E9
 If you won't help your-self.

Amaj7         F#m7
 I can't help you,
Bm9           E9        Amaj7  F#m7  Bm9  E9
 If you won't help your-self.

Amaj7         F#m7
 You can only get,
Bm9      E9           Amaj7  F#m7  Bm9  E9
 So much from someone else.

Amaj7         F#m7

Verse 2:

Amaj7                   Dmaj7
 You've got a degree, a-in philosophy,
C#m7                        E9
 So you think you're clever-er than me.
    Amaj7             Dmaj7
But I'm not just some drama queen,
          C#m7                 E9
'Cos it's where you're at; not where you've been.

   Amaj7          Dmaj7
So what do you ex-pect from me,
   C#m7             E9
To hold your head a-bove the sea?
    Amaj7          Dmaj7
And carry you even though you're bigger,
     C#m7                        F#7b9
'Cos don't you know you crush my tiny figure?

Bridge 2:

And anyway, we're still so young,
    Bm7        E7
And this isn't yesterday.

 If you won't help your-self.

Amaj7         F#m7
 I can't help you,

 If you won't help your-self.

Amaj7         F#m7
 You can only get,

Break:

Dmaj7                          Cdim
 You might be twenty five, but in my mind,
Amaj7         E&G#              F#7
 I see you as sixteen years old most the time.

Dmaj7                  Cdim
 And I'm just a child, and you're full grown,
    Bm7                       E9
And you are like nothing I've ever known.
