Verse
F Am
God knows what is hiding in that weak and drunken heart
G Gsus4 G
I guess you kissed the girls and made them cry
F
those Hardfaced Queens of misadventure
F Am
God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes
G Gsus4 G
a Fiery throng of muted angels
F
Giving love and getting nothing back
Chorus
F Am
People help the people
G
And if your homesick,
F
give me your hand and i'll hold it
F Am
People help the people
G
And nothing will drag you down
Dm C F
Oh and if I had a brain,
Dm C F
Oh and if I had a brain
Dm C F
i'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
Dm E F F
That turned, all those good hearts away
Verse ( 2 )
F Am
God knows what is hiding, in that world of little consequence
G Gsus4 G
Behind the tears, inside the lies
F F
A thousand slowly dying sunsets
F Am
God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
G Gsus4 G
I guess the loneliness came knocking
F F
No one needs to be alone, oh save me
Chorus
F Am
People help the people
G
And if your homesick,
F
give me your hand and i'll hold it
F Am
People help the people
G
And nothing will drag you down
Dm C F
Oh and if I had a brain,
Dm C F
Oh and if I had a brain
Dm C F
i'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
Dm E F F
That turned, all those good hearts away

Also, the first line should be “God knows what is hiding in THOSE weak and drunken heartS,” if I am correct.
i don’t use the Gsus4, it might make it easier, and instead of E, i play E7
Verse: D DUD DU* UDUD* DU
Chorus: D D UUDD DU
I believe that E should be an E7 instead 🙂
This doesn’t seem to be the correct key… The original key for this song in both the “Birdy” and “Fire Within” albums is 1 half step up.
