[Verse 1]

E
Why can't you see I'm just no good at these things?

A                                      B
I want to love you like the man I'm supposed to be

E
But you know me these conversations get boring

    A                                B        Cm
The fake, pathetic workings like consistency


[Pre-Chorus]

C#m
You turn and ask me

A                     E           B     Cm
Why don't you hold me baby, oh oh baby

C#m                 A
My cool is melting away and I'm making

E                 N.C.
A mess, you can't see me like this


[Chorus]

E        G#m
Helpless, helpless

C#m                         B
What makes my wounded heart feel like this?

E             G#m      C#m              B
Helpless, I'm helpless when it comes to you



[Verse 2]

E
Leave me alone, I know I'm not making sense

           A                          B
But I know I can't let you come any closer

E
It's my security, it's my self-defense

          A                        B    Cm
I keep on doing all this over and over


[Pre-Chorus]

C#m
You turn and ask me

A                   E           B     Cm
Just get to know me baby, oh oh baby

C#m                A                        E
I turn away and pretend that I'm doing just fine

           B
But you're inside my mind and I'm


[Chorus]

E        G#m
Helpless, helpless

C#m                         B
What makes my wounded heart feel like this?

E             G#m      C#m              B
Helpless, I'm helpless when it comes to you


[Bridge]

G#m               A
I'm caught in the way we talk

    E           B
I'm never good enough

G#m                 A                E                      B
Your love's like a wrecking ball and I don't want to break apart

Break apart, oh oh oh ohhh


[Chorus]

E        G#m
Helpless, helpless

C#m                          B              B B B
What makes my wounded heart feel like this?

E             G#m      C#m              B
Helpless, I'm helpless when it comes to you

E        G#m
Helpless, helpless

C#m                         B
What makes my wounded heart feel like this?

E             G#m      C#m              B
Helpless, I'm helpless when it comes to you

B                        E
When it comes to you...
