Intro: Eadd9 | Eadd9
       G#madd9 | G#madd9  } 2 times

E
God knows what is hiding
         G#m
In those weak and drunken heart,
          F#                   F#sus4add9 F#
Guess you kissed the girls and made them cry,
      E                    Eadd9  E
Those hard-faced Queens of misadventure.
God knows what is hiding
         G#m
In those weak and sunken eyes,
          F#      F#sus4add9 F#
A fiery throng of muted angels,
       E
Giving love and getting nothing back.

Chorus:
         E                G#m
     Oh, people, help the people,
                   F#
     And if you’re homesick,
     F#sus4add9   F#
     Give me your hand
              E        Esus2  E
     And I’ll hold it.
                      G#m
     People, help the people,
                  F#   F#sus4add9 F#
     Nothing will drag you down.
             C#m  B        E
     Oh, and if I had a brain,
             C#m  B        E
     Oh, and if I had a brain,
            C#m       B         E
     I’d be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
          C#m                D#7        E
     That turned all those good hearts away.

Instrumental: E Eadd9 | E

God knows what is hiding
In this world of little consequence,
Behind the tears, inside the lies,
A thousand slowly dying  sunsets.
God knows what is hiding
In those weak and drunken hearts,
Guess the loneliness came knocking,
No-one needs to be alone, oh, save me.

Chorus:
     Oh, people, help the people,
     And if you’re homesick,
     Give me your hand
     And I’ll hold it.
     People, help the people,
     Nothing will drag you down.
     Oh, and if I had a brain,
     Oh, and if I had a brain,
     I’d be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
     That turned all those good hearts away.

     People, help the people,
     And if you’re homesick,
     Give me your hand
     And I’ll hold it.
     People, help the people,
     Nothing will drag you down.
     Oh, and if I had a brain,
     Oh, and if I had a brain,
     I’d be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
     That turned all those good hearts away.

Instrumental: E | Eadd9
