Backstreet Boys - Helpless When She Smiles
[Verse]
D             E              F#
She keeps the secrets in her eyes
D            E             F#
she wraps truth inside her lies
D               E                     F#
and just when i can't take what she's done to me
she comes to me
D            E          F#
and leads me back to paradise.
B                 F#m
 she's so hard to hold
B                A
 but i can't let go.
[Chorus]
E                               B
 I'm a house of cards in a hurricane
                               C#m
a reclkess ride in the pouring rain
                     A
she cuts me and the pain is all i wanna feel
E                            B
 she danced away just like a child
                              F#m
she drives me crazy drives me wild
A                          D     E     F#
  but i'm helpless when she smiles.
(she smiles)
[Verse]
D         E             F#
Maybe i'd fight it if i could
D           E                 F#
it hurts so bad, but feels so good
D            E           F#
she opens up just like a rose to me
when she's close to me
D            E                 F#
anything she asked me to me, I would.
B                 F#m
 it's out of control
B                A
 but i can't let go.
[Chorus]
E                               B
 I'm a house of cards in a hurricane
                               C#m
a reclkess ride in the pouring rain
                     A
she cuts me and the pain is all i wanna feel
E                            B
 she danced away just like a child
                             F#m
she drives me crazy drives me wild
A                          E   B     C#m
  but i'm helpless when she smiles.
          A
(when she smiles)
B                 F#m
 when she looks at me
(when she looks at me)
B        A
 i get so weak
(no music)
....Weaaaaaaaak!...   (no music)
[Chorus]
                            E  B
        (no music)           - 
I'm a house of cards in a hurricane
                               C#m
a reclkess ride in the pouring rain
                     A
she cuts me and the pain is all i wanna feel
E                            B
 she danced away just like a child
                             F#m
she drives me crazy drives me wild
A                           D    E     F#
  but i'm helpless when she smiles...
(oh, when she smiles)
         D    E     F#
when she smiles...
(she smiles) (when she smiles)
         D    E   F#
when she smiiiiles...
(oh when she smiles)
          D    E      F#
when she... smiiiiles...
