🎸 Verse 1:
A7                        G7
Where were you when I was fallin down
                   A7
Buzzin' round your heart
                          G7
Why'd you wait till I was moving on
                   F#m
To come out of the dark
                C#7
To say I'm what you need
    A                    B
And you could spend your life with me

🎸 Chorus:
     C#7              F#m
Well I can't help you now
F#m
(Sorry baby, I can't help you)
    C#7              D
No, I can't help you now
                 C#7
(Keep away, I've fallen in love)
      F#m7
Maybe there was a time
    Em        A         Dmaj7
But sometimes time runs out
    Dm7              A7   G7   A7
And I can't help you now

A7                                   D7           G7
It's been forty days since I stopped countin' the days
    D7          G7          A7
And countin the ways that I loved you
A7
Good long while since I found
D7          G7                             F#m
Good enough reasons to stop believin' that you
           C#7
Are what I really want
    D        A      B7
And now that you do baby, I don't

No, I can't help you now
                 C#7
(Keep away, I've fallen in love)
      F#m7
Maybe there was a time
    Em        A         Dmaj7
But sometimes time runs out
    Dm7              A7
And I can't help you now
