INTRO:

G12  Gj7  G6   G8     F6   Cadd9 G    G6sus G Gadd9 G    (2x)

VERSE:
G                                 F6
Somewhere along the way I found a meaning
        G                  C  G  D
woke up dreaming along the way.
G                                        F
Never quite seems the same when you're awaking
     G                                   C     G  D
and making up for the time you've such a price to pay
    D7   D6   D    G   C     G D          D7 D6 D G   C G D  G6sus G
and then they take the dream away, and it just  ain't fair, mama.

CHORUS:

   G6sus               G            B                   Em  D  C
So help me through the night, mama, help me to ease the pain,
Cadd9           C     G6sus               Gj7           G
Tell me it's alright, help me through the night, once again.

G Gj7 G6 G  F6 Cadd9 G G6sus_G_Gadd9_G

VERSE:

    G12                      F6
And that's the danger in pretending, 
G                              C       G      D
tryin' to defend yourself from someone else's war,
    D7    D6   D    G       C    G   D        D7 D6   D    G     C G D
G6sus G
you don't know what they're fighting for, and no they just don't care, no.

CHORUS:

   G6sus              G            B              Em D C
So help me to see the light, mama, open my eyes again
Cadd9           C     G6sus               Gj7         G
Tell me it's alright, help me through the night, once again.
