🎸 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


🎸 Chorus:
   C#7       F#m
Well I can't help you now
F#m

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
