Introduction: A7M Bm9 E9
A7M D7M
When I walk in your shoes,
C#m7 E9
I understand a man confused.
A7M
There must have been,
D7M
But I don't care,
C#m7
I feel the way,
E9
Your soul does there.
A7M D7M
Darling, they empathise,
C#m7
Looking through,
E9
Your bloodshot eyes.
A7M
And I know you
D7M
You're so frustrated,
C#m7
Above we all become,
F#7
What we once hated.
Bm7 E7
Be-sides, nobody,
Bm7 E7
Can be that wise.
A7M F#m7
I can't help you,
Bm9
If you won't,
E9 A7M F#m7 Bm9 E9
Help your-self.
A7M F#m7
I can't help you,
Bm9
If you won't,
E9 A7M F#m7 Bm9 E9
Help your-self.
A7M F#m7
You can only get,
Bm9 E9
So much from,
A7M F#m7 Bm9 E9
Someone else.
A7M F#m7
I can't help you,
Bm9
If you won't,
E9 A7M F#m7 Bm9 E7
Help your-self.
A7M
You've got a degree,
C#m7
So you think,
E9
You're clever-er than me.
A7M
But I'm not just,
D7M
Some drama queen,
C#m7
'Cos it's where you're at,
E9
Not where you've been.
A7M
So what do you,
D7M
Ex-pect from me,
C#m7
To hold your head,
A7M
And carry you,
D7M
Even though you're bigger,
C#m7
'Cos don't you know,
F#7
You crush my tiny figure?
Bm7
And anyway,
E7
We're still so young,
Bm7 E7
And this isn't yesterday.
A7M F#m7
I can't help you,
Bm9
If you won't,
E9 A7M F#m7 Bm9 E9
Help your-self.
A7M F#m7
I can't help you,
Bm9
If you won't,
E9 A7M F#m7 Bm9 E9
Help your-self.
A7M F#m7
You can only get,
Bm9 E9
So much from,
A7M F#m7 Bm9 E9
Someone else.
A7M F#m7
I can't help you,
Bm9
If you won't,
E9 A7M F#m7 Bm9 E7
Help your-self.
D7M
You might be twenty five,
C°
But in my mind,
A7M E/G#
I see you as sixteen years old,
F#7
Most of the time.
D7M
And I'm just a child,
C°
And you're full grown,
Bm7
And you are like nothing,
E9
I've ever known.
