HELP!

(Lennon/McCartney)
The Beatles
Help! (1965)

Bm Bm/A
Help! I need somebody
G G/F#
Help! Not just anybody
E
Help! You know I need someone,
A
Help!

A C#m F#m
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
D G A
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
C#m F#m
But now those days are gone I'm not so self-assured,
D G A
Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the door.

Bm
Help me if you can I'm feeling down,
Bm/A G G/F#
And I do appreciate you being 'round.
E
Help me get my feet back on the ground,
A
Won't you please please help me?

C#m F#m
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
D G A
My independence seemed to vanish in the haze.
C#m F#m
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
D G A
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.

Bm
Help me if you can I'm feeling down,
Bm/A G G/F#
And I do appreciate you being 'round.
E
Help me get my feet back on the ground,
A
Won't you please please help me?
