Gb                                Bbm
God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken heart,
          Ab                   Absus4add9 Ab
Guess you kissed the girls and made them cry,
      Gb                   Gbadd9 Gb
Those hard-faced Queens of misadventure.
                                  Bbm
God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes,
          Ab      Absus4add9 Ab
A fiery throng of muted angels,
       Gb
Giving love and getting nothing back.

Chorus:
         Gb               Bbm
     Oh, people, help the people,
                   Ab        Absus4add9   Ab            Gb       Gbsus2 Gb
     And if you’re homesick, give me your hand and I’ll hold it.
                      Bbm
     People, help the people,
                  Ab   Absus4add9 Ab
     Nothing will drag you down.
             Ebm  Db       Gb          Ebm  Db       Gb
     Oh, and if I had a brain, oh, and if I had a brain,
            Ebm       Db        Gb
     I’d be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
          Ebm                F7         Gb
     That turned all those good hearts away.

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.
