Verse 1:
Em D G C
Storm took the phone lines down and now your ride can't call
G D C Em D
And you're bouncing off the walls, I stretched my arms real wide
G C G D C D
Tried to break your fall but you got up, mad as hell and told me that I had it all
Em D G C
I tried to heal your wounds just to say I helped
G D C D
Just to say that some small fame ain't made me someone else
Pre-Chorus:
Em D G C
It ain't a high road now, it's just uneven ground
G D C D
And I ain't even around to slow your speedin' down
Em D G C
You told me, "If a lie turned true, a lie it would still be
G D C D
You ain't a ******* hero now 'cause you cry on live TV"
Chorus:
C G
But at least I got a soul still, even if I'm in a bad place
B7 Em D
Even if I'm eatin' fast food, sleepin' at my dad's place.
C G
I'm happy for your haircut, I'm glad you got your act clean
B7 Em
You're showin' up like bad news and leavin' like a bad dream
Post-Chorus:
D C
Help me if it helps you sleep
Verse 2:
Em D G C
I don't need your cosign now, oh, we get along just fine
G D C D
For two hundred years, we laid bricks in the dirt, it's all there in the copper mines
Em D G C
You grew your hair out long, now you think you're Jesus Christ
G D C D
There ain't nobody mistakin' your guilt for some great sacrifice
Pre-Chorus:
Em D G C
Got bored of the New Hampshire' space, and left us for the New York Times
G D C D
And now you stumble around like a ghost, tellin' people how you died
Em D G C
You told me, "If a lie turned true, a lie it would still be
G D C D
You ain't a ******* hero now 'cause you cry on live TV"
Chorus:
C G
But at least I got a soul still, even if I'm in a bad place
B7 Em D
Even if I'm eatin' fast food, sleepin' at my dad's place.
C G
I'm happy for your haircut, I'm glad you got your act clean
B7 Em
You're showin' up like bad news and leavin' like a bad dream
Post-Chorus:
D C G
Help me if it helps you sleep.
B7 Em
Help me if it helps you write
D C
Help me if it helps you leave
B7 Em
Help me if it helps you lie
Bridge:
D C G
Crying in the bathroom, baby, drove your ass home.
B7 Em
You walked into a haunted house and got angry at the ghosts
D C G
We were fine without you, baby, long after you're gone.
B7 Em D
Spare us all the pity, love, save it for the microphone
C
Oh
Chorus:
C G
But at least I got a soul still, even if I'm in a bad place
B7 Em D
Even if I'm eatin' fast food, sleepin' at my dad's place.

I'm so happy for your haircut, I'm glad you got your act clean
B7 Em
You're showin' up like bad news and leavin' like a bad dream
Post-Chorus:
D C G
Help me if it helps you sleep.
B7 Em
Help me if it helps you write
D C
Help me if it helps you leave
B7 Em
Help me if it helps you lie
Outro:

We were fine without you, baby.
