[C#m] When I walk [C#] in your [A] shoes, [C#m] I understand [E] a man confused.
[A] There must be, [D] but I don't care.
[C#m] I feel the way your shoulders [C#m] bend.
[A] You're in [D] the other side, [C#m] looking through [E] your bloodshot eyes.
[A] And I know you, [D] you're so frustrated.
[C#] [C#m] But we all become [F#] what we once hated.
[Bm] Besides,
[E] nobody [Bm] can be that wise.
[E] [A] I can't help you [F#m] if you won't help yourself.
Help yourself, [A] help yourself.

[F#m] Don't help yourself.
[E] No, no, [A] no, no.
[F#m] You can only [A] get so much from someone else.
And you can only get so much from [E] me.

[F#m]
Don't help [E] yourself.
[A] You got the degree [C#] in [A] philosophy.
[E] So you think you're cleverer than me.
So [A] smart.
But I'm not just [D] some drama queen.
[C#m] Cause it's where you're at, [E] not where you've [C#m] been.
So what do you [D] expect from me?
[C#m] To hold your head [E] above the sea?
[A] And carry you, [D] even though you're bigger.
[C#m] Cause don't you know, you're [F#] quite my tiny figure.
[Bm] But anyway, [E] we're still so young.

[E] [D] You might be [A] 25, but in my mind, I
see you at [E] 16 [F#] years old most of the time.
[D] I'm just a [D#] child.
Yeah, you full grown.
[Bm] And no, I'm like nothing [E] that I've ever known.
