I thought I could turn things around
                                 Em
And show you something that was new
F
But all I got was disappointment
                     Fm
I was left without a clue

[Pre-Chorus]
C                 G
But you can never change
          E               Am F
You just keep on being you

[Chorus]
           C               E        Am
You got to help yourself (Help yourself)
            C              E        Am
You got to help yourself (Help yourself)
           D  Fm    C
You got to help yourself

[Verse 2]
C
And as the world grows dark beneath the setting sun,
        Em
I think about you
F
And all the plans that we'd begun
                           Fm
but never finished seem to turn and run

[Pre-Chorus]
C                 G
But you can never change
          E               Am F
You just keep on being you

[Chorus]
           C               E        Am
You got to help yourself (Help yourself)

You got to help yourself (Help yourself)
           D  Fm    C
You got to help yourself

[Pre-Chorus]
C                 G
But you can never change
          E               Am F
You just keep on being you

[Chorus]
           C               E        Am
You got to help yourself (Help yourself)
            C              E        Am
You got to help yourself (Help yourself)
           D  Fm    C
You got to help yourself

[Verse 3]
C
And as the world grows bright beneath the rising sun,
         Em
I think about you
F
And all the things we never did
                      Fm
'cause we forgot we ever wanted to

[Pre-Chorus]
C                 G
But you can never change

You just keep on being you

You got to help yourself (Help yourself)
           D  Fm    C
You got to help yourself
