Helpless

  F                           C
I fear that this room will be empty
        G                  Am
Where I plan on becoming a man
      F                       C
But I need someone special to hold me,
          G                  Am
I've been dying inside of my skin
    F                       C
You told me you'd always be with me
       G                     Am
Well I feel you will never return
         F                         C
Like the thief that is stealing my witness
               G                        Am
I gave him the time that I thought he deserves


[Verse 2]
     F                    C
I am losing my faith in a Father
        G                       Am
Well he never stays on just for me
        F                            C
And the mouth that spoke death to my mother
         G                          Am
Has just swallowed the claim that I need
         F                     C
There is no more resisting the battle
       G                         Am
I have gained all the demons you saved
        F                   C
And the woman has taken the saddle
    G                           Am
And rode the black horse to the grave

[Verse 3]
         F                           C
Well I'm helpless and don't have the answer
         G                     Am
Like the man who's selling his soul
       F                      C
Well I told you I'd always be faithful
      G                         Am
Now I swear I'm the bastard you know
              F                C
And I've been crying as if you offend me
     G                          Am
I am torn like the ragged young man
     F                                C
As I walked down the street with your family
       G                       Am
I have cursed at the sky once again


[Chorus]
       Am      F       C G Am
Oh and I am so helpless
    Am      F       C G Am
And I am so helpless
    Am      F       C G Am
And I am so helpless


[Verse 4]
   F                        C
It feels like my face is on fire
       G                    Am
And my body was made out of stone
       F                      C
And it hurts me to know I'm a liar
       G                      Am
And it kills me to think I'm alone
