You Need A Mess Of Help To Stand Alone

G

[verse]

           G                                C
I need a breeze blowin' softly, to keep my windvane from standing.
         G                               C
I need whole lotta sunshine, to keep my sundial advancing.
             G                        D
I need some soil 'fore my grass will grow,
              G                       D
I need some spark to make my candle glow.

[chorus]

    F                      G
"Relief" I cried aint no shuck and jive,
          A7               D     G
I need a mess of help to stand alone.

[verse]

           G                              C
I need a spark by your fire, to stop the cold of my winter,
        G                                   C
I need burst of your raindrops, to keep a flow in my river.
          G                        D                 G                    D
I need a call 'fore my phone will ring, I need your song for my voice to sing.

[chorus]

   F                 G
please realize I am not half alive
           A7                D    G
without a mess of help to stand alone.

[verse]

            G                                C
I need the warmth of your smile to heat my frostbitten sorrow,
             G                            C
I need your hand on my shoulder to lead todays through tomorrows.
               G                        D
I need your strength to lock me to the track,
              G                         D
I need your trust to bust the things I lack.

[chorus]

    F                      G
"Belief" I cried aint no shuck and jive,
           A               D     G
I need a mess of help to stand alone.

she don't know, she dont know, she dont know, she dont know...
G                C             G               C
she don't know, she dont know, she dont know, she dont know...
