Chorus:
               G
Well how can I help
            D
What can I do
           Am
To get you by
              C
To see you through
           G
Show me a sign
             D
Leave me a clue
                    C   G  Am D
'Cos I just don't know
                 G
What more I can give
                 D
What more I can say
              Am
To ease your mind
                C
To soothe your pain
                      G
You swim against the tide
                     D
You go against the grain
                   C    G  Am D
And I just don't know
                     G
When you're so far away

G           Em         Bm        D
Is there a song I can sing for you?
Am             Em         G             D
Can I shine a light on a different view?
G           Em          Bm        D
Is there a wrong I can right for you?
Am                Em         D
To help bring you back around

Chorus:
Tell me how can I help
What can I do
To get you by
To see you through
Show me a sign
Leave me a clue
Cause I just don't know
What more I can give
More I can say
To ease your mind
To soothe your pain
You swim against the tide
You go against the grain
And I just don't know
When you're so far away

Is there a plate I can spin for you?
Can I share the load?
Can I help you through?
Oh and is there a weight I can lift for you?
To stop life from dragging you down

Chorus:
Well how I can help
What can I do
To get you by
To see you through
Show me a sign
Leave me a clue
I just don't know
What more I can give
More I can say
To ease your mind
To soothe your pain
You swim against the tide
You go against the grain
And I just don't know
When you're so far away
Yeah
When you're so far away
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
When you're so far away
