Em7                    Am7
It's no good anymore when your hands are tied
           Em7                            Am7
Cause your friends found you out when you broke down and cried 
        Em7                           Am7
And the bright colored balls that you held inside
            Bm7             Am7
Weren't the answer, no, no, no
        Cm7
Not the answer

[Instrumental]
Bm7 Em7 x2

[Verse 2]
        Em7                   Am7
It's no good anymore when you know all the rules
           Em7                             Am7
Cause your friends pushed you out and they all look like fools
        Em7                            Am7
And the stories that you sang from the inside room
            Bm7             Am7
Weren't the answer, no, no, no
        Cm7
Not the answer

[Chorus]
Am7         Cmaj7               Dm
I'd like to help you but you're past that
Am7         Cmaj7             Dm
I'd like to help you but it's too late
Am7         Cmaj7           Dm             Fmaj7             F#m7 Fmaj7
I'd like to look around the corner just to find what I could see

[Instrumental/Solo]
Em7 Am7 x6

[Verse 3]
        Em7              Am7
It's no good anymore to abide by the rules
             Em7                      Am7
Cause you're graduating soon from the loser's school
        Em7                        Am7
And the country tavern lady in the house on the hill
             Bm7             Am7
Can't be the answer, no, no, no
              Cm7
She's not the answer

[Chorus]
Am7         Cmaj7               Dm
I'd like to help you but you're past that
Am7         Cmaj7             Dm
I'd like to help you but it's too late
Am7         Cmaj7           Dm             Fmaj7             F#m7 Fmaj7
I'd like to look around the corner just to find what I could see

[Chorus]
Am7         Cmaj7               Dm
I'd like to help you but you're past that
Am7         Cmaj7             Dm
I'd like to help you but it's too late
Am7         Cmaj7           Dm             Fmaj7             F#m7 Fmaj7
I'd like to look around the corner just to find what I could see

[Outro]
Em7                         Am7
Like to help you but you're too far gone
Em7                               Am7
I'd like to help you out but it's too late now
Em7                             Am7
Like to help you now but you're too far gone
Em7
Too late...
Am7
Too late...
