(no guitar in this part)
When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on
verse
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
F#
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand
Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
B
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no
Chorus
Help me out
F#
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
B
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
F#
You know you got to help me out
verse
F#
And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
B
These changes ain't changing me
F#
The cold-hearted boy I used to be
Chorus
F#
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
B
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
F#
You know you got to help me out
