Verse 1: 
 
A7+          D7+   
 When I walk in your shoes, 
  C#m7         E9 
I understand a man confused. 
      A7+   
There must have been, 
    D7+   
But I don't care, 
  C#m7 
I feel the way, 
     E9 
Your soul does there. 
 
A7+            D7+   
 Darling, they empathise, 
C#m7 
 Looking through, 
     E9 
Your bloodshot eyes. 
A7+   
 And I know you; 
       D7+   
You're so frustrated, 
C#m7 
 Above we all become, 
     F#7/b9 
What we once hated. 
 
Bridge 1: 
 
   Bm7    E7  
Be-sides, nobody, 
    Bm7           E7 
Can be that wise. 
 
 
A7+           F#m7

 Help your-self.

 Help your-self. 
 
A7+           F#m7 
 You can only get, 
Bm9      E9 
 So much from, 
        A7+    F#m7  Bm9  E9 
Someone else.

Verse 2: 
 
A7+   
 You've got a degree, 
  D7+   
A-in philosophy, 
C#m7 
 So you think, 
              E9 
You're clever-er than me. 
    A7+   
But I'm not just, 
     D7+   
Some drama queen, 
          C#m7 
'Cos it's where you're at, 
    E9 
Not where you've been. 
 
   A7+   
So what do you, 
   D7+   
Ex-pect from me, 
   C#m7 
To hold your head, 
  E9 
A-bove the sea? 
    A7+   
And carry you, 
     D7+   
Even though you're bigger, 
     C#m7 
'Cos don't you know, 
             F#7/b9 
You crush my tiny figure? 
 
Bridge 2: 
 
    Bm7 
And anyway, 
      E7 
We're still so young, 
    Bm7        E7 
And this isn't yesterday.

 Help your-self.

 Help your-self.

 So much from, 
        A7+    F#m7  Bm9  E9 
Someone else.

Break: 
 
D7+   
 You might be twenty five, 
    C°   
But in my mind, 
A7+           E/G# 
 I see you as sixteen years old, 
F#7 
 Most of the time. 
 
D7+   
 And I'm just a child, 
C°   
 And you're full grown, 
    Bm7 
And you are like nothing, 
     E9 
I've ever known.
