[Verse]

G
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go 
G
You know, you know, no you don't, you don't 
C                                 G
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men 
G
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand 

 
G
Another head aches, another heart breaks 
      G
I'm so much older than I can take 
C                                G
And my affection, well it comes and goes 
      G
I need direction to perfection, no no no no 


[Chorus]

G
Help me out
G       
Yeah, you know you got to help me out 
                                        C
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the backburner 
                            G
You know you got to help me out, yeah


[Verse:]

G
And when there's nowhere else to run 
G
Is there room for one more son 
C
These changes ain't changing me 
G
The cold-hearted boy I used to be 


[Chorus]

G
Yeah, you know you got to help me out 
G                                  C
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the backburner 
C                            G
You know you got to help me out
                            Em
You're gonna bring yourself down 
                                  C
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down 
                                  G
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down 


[Break-down]

G (for 2 bars, but only play the lowest notes)

G
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier 
G                              
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier 
C
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier 
G
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier 
G (power type chord, slide down a little but after each strum:listen to song)
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier 
G
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier 
C (same as the G)
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier 
G
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier 
Em ( go all out)
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier 
C                                G
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier             (Time, truth and hearts)
 

[Chorus]

G       
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
                                 C
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the backburner 
                            G
You know you got to help me out 
G
You're gonna bring yourself down 
G
You're gonna bring yourself down 
                                 C
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the backburner 
                                  G
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down 
                                      Em
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
          

[Outro]

Em           Am            C
Over and in, last call for sin 
                                   D (let ring)
When everyone's lost the battle is won
                                    G (riff again)
With all these things that I've done 
                           Em
All these things that I've done (Time, truth and hearts)
       Am
If you can hold on 
       C
If you can hold on
       G to the end
Hold on
