[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Am Em Dm Fmaj7

When a sampled heartbeat and a stolen soul

Am Em Dm Fmaj7

I sold my songs to have my fortune told

F C G Am

And it said "You should know that love will never die,

Am Em Dm G Am Em

But see how it kills you in the blink of an eye"

[Verse 2]

Am Em Dm Fmaj7

I know of love as a hot white light

Am Em Dm Fmaj7

That knocks you down and then leaves you to dry

F C G Am

Oh, how can it be sweet momma tell me why

Am Em Dm G Am Em

Why all love's disciples have to wither and die

[Chorus]

Am Em Dm F

Please sister help me come on do what you should

Am Em Dm Fmaj7

Please give me something, I'm not doing so good

F C G Am

I'm gone down wrong, is there nothing you can say?

Am Em Dm G Am

Please sister help me I'm not feeling ok

[Interlude]

Am Em Dm F

(x2)

[Verse 3]

Am Em Dm Fmaj7

Give me belief that my time will come

Am Em Dm Fmaj7

and a toll free helpline if I find someone

F C G Am

but she said "You gave away what you never really had

Am Em Dm G Am Em

and now your purse is empty, I can see why you're sad." Oh

[Chorus]

Am Em Dm F

Please sister help me come on do what you should

Am Em Dm Fmaj7

Please give me something, I'm not doing so good

F C G Am

I'm gone down wrong, is there nothing you can say?

Am Em Dm G Am

Please sister help me, can you make me feel ok?

[Bridge]

Bm Gmaj7 Am Fmaj7

F C G Am

So if it's true that love will never die

Am Em Dm G Am Em

Then why do the lovers work so hard to stay alive

Please... Oh

[Chorus]

Am Em Dm F

Please sister help me

Am Em Dm E

Please give me something Oh

Am Em Dm F

Please sister you know I do what I can

Am Em Dm F

Oh sweet momma please just send me a man

F C G Am

'Cos I'm gone, gone, is there nothing you can give?

Am Em Dm G Am

Please sister help me, I just need some love to live

[Outro]

Am Em Dm F Am Em Dm F

Lust a little love to live

Am Em Dm F Am Em Dm F Am

And a little love to sail in
