 (If  that Em  sounds  a little too dark to you, try 022x00 (E5?))
 Are you going to help me  or will you let me down?
 I'm looking for a true love  but am I lost or found?
 And will we cry in passion  or will we cry in pain?
 And will our lonely teardrops  fill the world with rain?
  Help me  up,  don't you let me  down.
  I'm gonna  wake up in  heaven, not the  cold, cold  ground.
 
 Can't you hear the lovers  crying in the night?
 They spend their whole lives trying;  still can't get it right.
 I don't know where we're going  but I guess we'll start
 And just to show that I mean it,  baby here's my heart.
  Chorus
 (Walk it up hard on the bass: )
 Living on my  feelings,  feelings all I  know.
 Baby once we  touch it, we'll  never let it  go.
 (I'm guessing on the Ddim -- he pulls something weird out of his hat,
 and this sounds decent.)
