Verse:
Dm7 C Dm7 Am7
The same drink that gets me out the door
Dm7 C Dm7 Am7
Is the same drink that puts me on the floor
Dm7 C Dm7 Am7
And the new thing I wanna try some more
Dm7 C Dm7 Am7
Is the same mistake I used to make before
Chorus:
Dm7
If I'm helpless tell me now
Am
Tell me now
Dm7
If I'm helpless tell me now
Am
Tell me now
Dm7
If I'm helpless tell me now
Am
Tell me now
Dm7 Am
And I'll stop trying to figure it out
Dm7 Am
Dm7 Am
Verse:
Dm7 C Dm7 Am7
The same brain that brings me ecstacy
Dm7 C Dm7 Am7
Is the same pain that gets the best of me
Dm7 C Dm7 Am7
And the one I love the most just said to me
Dm7 C Dm7 Am7
A broken heart is all I'll ever be
Chorus:
Dm7
If I'm helpless tell me now
Am
Tell me now
Dm7
If I'm helpless tell me now
Am
Tell me now

Tell me now

And I'll stop trying to figure it out
