Help me
Emaj7 E7
Could something so right be so tainted? A brief intermission
A Am E
Between feeling and reason
(E)
I promise
Emaj7
Beneath the shrink wrap and the price tag
E7
There's something worth your while,
A Am
At least there used to be
C
Believe in me
E
Believe in love
C A
Believe in anything that's better than this
E
I want You
Dsus
But I just can't ask You
Csus G G - G/F#
Cuz I don't even know You now (Want to know you now)
E
Caught in this dust bin
Dsus
And blinded by my sin
Csus G G - G/F#
And I still don't know You now (Want to know you now)
I'm writing a book
But it's got no pages
Cuz you were all I had to say and I
Guess I have walked away from You
I'm too slow
There's God on the phone; well, leave a message
And I'll get back to You soon
Don't believe in me
Please, believe in love
Believe in God, He's better than this
I want You
And I wanna love You
Cuz I don't even know You now
I need this
And I'm prayin' for it
But I still don't know You now
