Verse 1:
               Gm          F
Storm took the phone lines down
F           Bb         Eb
And now your ride can't call
Eb         Bb       F      Eb
And you're bouncing off the walls
Eb             Gm        F
I stretched my arms real wide
F       Bb         Eb
Tried to break your fall
Eb          Gm  F     Eb                      F
But you got up, mad as hell and told me that I had it all
F         Gm        F
I tried to heal your wounds
F      Bb    Eb
Just to say I helped
Eb      Gm       F         Eb                 F
Just to say that some small fame ain't made me someone else
F         Gm        F
It ain't a high road now
F   Bb     Eb
Just uneven ground
Eb        Gm  F   Eb                 F
And I ain't even around to slow your speeding down

Pre-chorus:
F                 Gm         F
You told me, "If a lie turned true
F       Bb          Eb
A lie it would still be
Eb          Gm      F   Eb                    F
You ain't a xxxxxxx hero now 'cause you cry on live TV"

Chorus:
(nc)                 Eb
But at least I got a soul still
Eb              Bb
Even if im in a bad place
Bb                 D7
Even if I'm eating fast food
D7             Gm         F
Sleeping at my dad's place
F                 Eb
I'm happy for your haircut
Eb                    Bb
I'm glad you got your act cleaned
Bb                     D7
You're showing up like bad news
D7                  Gm
And leaving like a bad dream
F                      Eb
Help me if it helps you sleep

Verse 2:
(nc)            Gm       F
Don't need your cosign now
F         Bb         Eb
Oh, we get along just fine
Eb              Gm             F            Eb                         F
For two hundred years, we laid bricks in the dirt, put solar in the copper mines
F            Gm       F
You grew your hair out long
F                   Bb    Eb
Now you think you're Jesus Christ
Eb          Gm     F             Eb                   F
There ain't nobody mistaking your guilt for some great sacrifice
F                   Gm        F
Got bored in the New Hampshire Space
F              Bb       Eb
Left us for the New York Times
Eb      Gm      F            Eb                   F
Now you stumble around like a ghost telling people how you died

Pre-chorus:
F            Gm         F
Told me, "if a lie turned true
F       Bb          Eb
A lie it would still be

You ain't a xxxxxxx hero now 'cause you cry on live TV"

Even if I'm eating fast food

Help me if it helps you sleep

Help me if it helps you write

Help me if it helps you leave

Help me if it helps you lie

Bridge:
Gm            F             Eb
Crying in the bathroom, baby
Eb             Bb
Drove your ass home
Bb                        D7
You walked into a haunted house
D7                   Gm
And got angry at the ghosts
Gm           F               Eb
We were fine without you, baby
Eb                    Bb
Long after you're gone
Bb                        D7
Spare us all the pity, love
D7                     Gm  F   Eb
Save it for your microphone

Eb                   Eb
But at least I got a soul still

Even if I'm in a bad place
Bb                 D7
Even if I'm eating fast food
D7             Gm          F
Sleeping at my dad's place
F                 Eb
I'm happy for your haircut
Eb                    Bb
I'm glad you got your act cleaned
Bb                     D7
You're showing up like bad news
D7                 Gm
And leaving like a bad dream

Help me if it helps you write
F                      Eb    Bb
Help me if it helps you leave

Help me if it helps you lie
