Intro Em  Bm  C  G 

 

Em                 Bm       C 
Flying through the universe upon a troubled star 
    Em         D                C 
Uncertainty is all around....we don't know who we are 
Em            Bm                C           A 
Lately I been wondering if it's ever gonna come 
Bm               Am              C            G 
Days are getting shorter and the changes have begun 



Em                Bm                    C 
Flower dreams and glitter scenes....we followed them so blind 
    Em         D                C 
Sunset shadows from a world we had to leave behind 
Em              Bm                C             A 
Self-assured we knew it all, but had nothing to say 
     Bm                  Am              C         G 
But things that we could do alone just don't work today 



           D   C   G 
Gonna need outside help 
               D       C       G 
You just can't make it by yourself 
            D   C   G 
Gonna need outside help 
                D      C       G               F     G 
You just can't make it by yourself, yeh by yourself 



Bm                    F#m 
New Your talk and L.A walk 
C              G 
Union dues and blue suede shoes 
Am                    Bm 
Fords and hoards and missing chords 
C                    D 
When is it all gonna stop?

Em             Bm             C 
Turning to the east I hear a strange and fearful sound 
    Em                  D                C 
The best laid plans of mice and men are crumbling to the ground 
Em             Bm            C              A 
Turning to the sky I see a flashing ray of light 
Bm               Am               C            G 
Brothers from a distant world are watching us tonight 



Em               Bm          C 
Today I saw this little ant working to survive 
    Em        D                C 
Carrying ten times his weight just to stay alive 
   Em           Bm            C                  A 
At times I feel like that ant trying to make it through 
    Bm           Am              C                G 
But I know it'll be all right as long as I'm with you 



           D   C   G 
Gonna need outside help 
             D       C      G 
I just can't make it by myself 
            D   C   G 
Gonna need outside help 
              D      C     G              F    G 
I just can't make it by myself, yeh by myself 
           D   C   G 
Gonna need outside help 
             D       C      G 
I just can't make it by myself
