[Intro]
 C  Em  C  Em

[Verse 1]
C
God knows what is hiding in
        Em
 those weak and drunken hearts
          D
Guess you kissed the girls
and made them cry
          C
Those hardfaced queens
of misadventure
C
God knows what is hiding in
       Em
those weak and sunken eyes
      D
Fiery throng the muted angel
       C
Givin' love and gettin'
nothing back

[Pre-Chorus]
   C                Em
Oh people, help the people
              D
And if you're homesick
                    C
Gimme your hand and I'll
 hold it
C               Em
People help the people
             D
Nothing will drag you down

[Chorus]
       Am   G     C
Oh and if I had a brain
       Am   G     C
Oh and if I had a brain
       Am        G
I'd be cold as a stone
      C
 and rich as the fool
     Am
That turned all those
  B7           C
good hearts away

[Verse 2]
C
God knows what is hidin'
         Em
in this world of little
consequence
  D
Behind the tears,
inside the lies
   C
Of thousand slowly
 dyin' sunsets
C
God knows what is hiding
          Em
in those weak and
drunken hearts
          D
Guess the loneliness
came knockin'
       C
No one needs to be
alone or sinkin'

[Pre-Chorus]
C                Em
People, help the people
              D
And if you're homesick
Just give me your hand
          C
and I'll hold it
C               Em
People help the people
             D
Nothin' will drag you down

[Chorus]
       Am   G     C
Oh and if I had a brain
Am   G     C
If I had a brain
       Am        G
I'd be cold as a stone
      C
 and rich as the fool
     Am               B7
That turned all those good
             C
at hearts away
