You Can't Help Me Now

From the album “The Both 2012


C                              Dm          F   C
Any time you establish a world of your own, you get thrown
Try and answer a bomb with a calm undertone, alone
Am             F C            G
I wanted you to know that I put up a fight
Am             F C            G
But everything goes missing when they dim the light
Am             F C            G
The catastrophic sinking of the windless kite

F                    C
And even you can't help me now
Am            C
You can't help
F                    C
You can't help me now
Am            C
You can't help

Any time you establish a need to atone, you're prone
Down the tracks you can map on the seams of your own broken bones
I wanted you to know I'm not here to indict
And everything you've seen is like a second sight
We're inheriting the balance of a poor birthright

And even you can't help me now
You can't help
You can't help me now
You can't help
 
G                        Am
You want to say that you were waiting for this
           F  C
But you weren't ready yet
 Bb              Am
And those If only's only clothe the good
           F  C
In front of you with regret

I wanted you to know that it was understood
I know if you could come around again you would
But baby, I can't see you in this neighborhood

And even you can't help me now
You can't help
You can't help me now
You can't help
