(Intro)
 
 Bm 
Help, I need somebody 
 G 
Help, Not just anybody 
 E 
Help, You know, I need someone 
 A 
Help! 
 
(1ª parte) 
A                             C#m 
   When I was younger so much younger than today 
F#m                          D      G    A 
   I never needed anybody's help in any way 
A                                     C#m 
   But know these days are gone, I'm not so self-assured 
F#m                                    D      G       A 
   Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors 
 
 
 Bm 
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down 
       G 
And I do appreciate your being'round 
 E 
Help me get my feet back on the ground 
            A 
Won't you please, please help me? 
 
(1ª parte - variação da letra) 
                                  C#m 
   And now my life has changed in oh, so many ways 
F#m                          D     G       A 
   My independence seems to vanish in the haze 
A                            C#m 
   But every now and then I feel so insecure 
F#m                                    D     G      A 
   I know that I just need you like I never done before 
 
 
 Bm 
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down 
       G 
And I do appreciate your being'round 
 E 
Help me get my feet back on the ground 
            A 
Won't you please, please help me? 
 
(1ª parte) 
A                             C#m 
   When I was younger so much younger than today 
F#m                          D      G    A 
   I never needed anybody's help in any way 
A                                     C#m 
   But know these days are gone, I'm not so self-assured 
F#m                                    D      G       A 
   Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors

       G 
And I do appreciate your being'round 
 E 
Help me get my feet back on the ground 
            A

(final) 
F#m               A 
   Help me, help me, ooh
