CHORUS
*******
Ab
 It's all the same
    C#         Eb
And you really should have known
Ab
 It's all the same
     C#
When your heart grows cold
      Eb
and you're all alone
Fm
 This has no name
   C#       Eb
This feeling that I used to know
Fm
 It's here again
   C#        Eb
I can see the tortured souls
        Ab
as they cry for help

Take my hand
   C#
I'll lead you through the
Eb
traps and snares
Ab
 Take my hand
     C#        Eb
And I'll feed you and I'll clothe you like
  Fm
My only child
     C#       Eb
There is nothing left to feel
   Fm
Oh my only child
     C#
There is nothing left
  Gm
to hurt you now

Of pleading for a helping hand

They couldn't give a damn....

Give a damn!
