[Verse 1]
Bb                          F
When you get home from work
Dm                  C
You change out your shirt
            Bb
I watch the light just play and fall
F                   C
Right off your skin
       Bb                  F
In the flickers of the moonlight
      Dm                        C
I can tell that something's not right
                     Bb
That there's a whole world in there
     F                   C
That you won't let me in
        Bb                 Dm                 C
To understand it how could anyone even begin?


[Verse 2]
       Bb            F
So you ask me how my day went
         Dm                     C
I try to feign some sense of achievement
             Bb
And I run my mouth till I forget
  F                         C
I haven't asked you a thing
   Bb                       Dm                    C
My selfish little mind ran away with itself again
      Bb                F
Maybe I'm too scared to ask you
              Dm                       C
Or it's the insignificance of all that I do
                     Bb                F                    C
When I spend my time walking around in all I've left unsaid
                  Bb                        Dm                         C
While you've been working all night and the ward's running out of beds

[Verse 3]
          Bb               F
I finally ask you how your day went
            Dm                  C
You say you lost your favourite patient
                         Bb             Dm            Csus4
While I was working on a masterpiece no one will ever hear
                       Bb                       Dm                  C
I can't help but think what the hell is it that I'm even doing here


[Verse 4]
             Bb               F
Because your life is in the moment
        Dm             C
What is needed, most important
            Bb                      F
You put yourself to one side and provide
                 C
Do what needs to be done
          Bb              F
Mine is a world of my own making
           Dm                  C
Words I've swallowed, time I'm taking
          Bb                             F              C
You don't judge or ever question what it is I do it for
      Bb              Dm                      C
But I watch you and I know I could do so much more

[Outro]
             Bb              F
I hope I can help in some way
             Bb              F
I hope I can help in some way
             Bb          F      C
I hope I can help in some small way
             Bb              F
I hope I can help in some way
             Bb              F
I hope I can help in some way
             Bb          F      C
I hope I can help in some small way
