(FOR A WHILE) WE HELPED EACH OTHER OUT
As recorded by Bobby Bare
(From the 1966 Album TALK ME SOME SENSE)
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
Remember when I saw you standing slightly cryin' empty-handed
Em
With no one that you could call your own
A
Looking up to someone somewhere asking for life with no despair
D
Begging for the world to leave you alone
D
Yes I shouldn't have butted in but you looked as if you could use a friend
Em
And I'd lost one myself and was looking about
G A D Bm
Remember it was kinda crazy I held my hand out you took it baby
Em A D
[Bridge]
G A D Bm
Remember how I dried every tear that you cried
Em A D
And gave you love to trust beyond a doubt
G A D Bm
And whenever I was down you made me laugh brought me around
Em A D
Yeah for a while we helped each other out
[Verse 2]
D
And early one day in the morning sun that time came we knew would come
Em
And in our hearts well there was love no more
A
I guess we're just two of that kind that look for life but never find
D
The love in mind that we were looking for
D
But I always have the warm spot for you cause at one time I adored you
Em
And if I pass this way again I'll shout
G A D Bm
May be years 'fore I come through but when I do I'll call on you
Em A D
Cause at one time we helped each other out
Em A D
At one time we helped each other out
