            G     C           G      C
I need some help.   Help to decide.

            G         D            (Walkdown to Em)
Whether its our love, steps out of time.

            G    C             G      C
You say you need, time on your own

        G         D             G
time to accept how our love has grown.

             C
And when you think about

        G
all the bad in me

       A7
think about this too

    D      C                 (Walkdown to Am)
how me and you could forever be.

Verse 2 --------

           G    C          G    C
In need of help, help to expand

          G             D            (Walkdown to Em)
with each other's minds, together to plan.

            G    C              G    C
Time in our lives,  time on our own

           G        D             G
so one day we'll see our love has grown.

              C
And when that day arrives

           G
don't know where we'll be.

      A7
but I hope that trust

    D      C
can be for us and

                 (Walkdown to Am)
you'll still love me.

Solo Am C G Em Am C G Em C Verse 3 -------

            G    C             G       C
I need some help,   help to be found

         G         D                   (Walkdown to Em)
when you are alone I won't let you down.

            G    C             G    C
We all need time,  time on our own

          G          D              G
so we can step back, see how love's grown.

             C
And when I'm stepping back

          G
hope that I will see

     A7
that faith can play

  D      C                    (Walkdown to C)
a part today for both you and me.

       C
And if love needs help

       G
and if love needs time

     A7
give love the strength

   D      C
to walk a straight line.

                G      C
Walk a straight line.

                G      C
Walk a straight line.

                G      C
Walk a straight line.

                G      C
I need some help.

                G      C      G
I need some help.
