Capo 2
 
Intro: D G C G (4x)
 
Verse:
 
D
I think about you baby
G
And I can't breathe at all
D
(I) stall without you baby
G
An engine 'til I fall
Bm A G
And I fell so hard
D
This time
 
G D
All you wanted was a man
G D
That could help you baby
G D
Help you baby
G D C
But I can't help at all
G
Though I tried
D
The best I can
 
G C G
D G C G (3x)
D
 
Past my prime now daily
G
I have to sit and think
D
Turn out the lights and maybe
G
I'll have another drink
 
Bm A G
There's still a spark in your eyes
D G
All you wanted was a man
D G
That could help you baby
D G
Help you baby
D G C
But I can't help at all
G
Though I tried
D
The best I can
 
G C G
D G C G (2x)
 
Whispering winds come gently
And ease me to my feet
But there's blood in the air
And nice cars on the street
Just find a good place to hide
 
All you wanted was a man
That could help you baby
Help you baby
But I can't help at all
Though I tried
The best I can
 
I tried the best I can
I tried the best I can
