[Intro]

Cadd2   G->C
Emadd9  G->C
 
 
[Verse]
 
C                               Em
God knows what is hiding in that weak and drunken heart
            D         Dadd4    D
I guess you kissed the girls and made them cry 
      C                  Cadd4 C
those Hardfaced Queens of misadventure
C                                Em
God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes
  D             Dadd4 D
a Fiery throng of muted angels
       C               Cadd4  C
Giving love and getting nothing back
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C              Em
People help the people
            D
And if your homesick, 
                           C
give me your hand and i'll hold it
C              Em
People help the people
                 D
And nothing will drag you down
       Am  G   C
Oh and if I had a brain,
       Am  G   C
Oh and if I had a brain
       Am       G       Cmaj7		Am7
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
     Am               B7           C         C
That turned all those good hearts away
 
 
[Verse]
 
C                                Em
God knows what is hiding, in that world of little consequence
            D     Dadd4   D
Behind the tears, inside the lies
  C              Cadd4 C
A thousand slowly dying sunsets
C                                Em
God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
  D              Dadd4    D
I guess the loneliness came knocking
       C              Cadd4  C
No one needs to be alone, oh save me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C              Em
People help the people
            D
And if your homesick, 
                           C
give me your hand and i'll hold it
C              Em
People help the people
                 D
And nothing will drag you down
       Am  G   C
Oh and if I had a brain,
       Am  G   C
Oh and if I had a brain
       Am       G       Cmaj7		Am7
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
     Am               B7           C         C
That turned all those good hearts away
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
C  Em  Cadd4  C
C  Em  Cadd4  C
 
C            Em       Abadd4      C
na naaa na na naaa
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C              Em
People help the people
            D
And if your homesick, 
                           C
give me your hand and i'll hold it
C              Em
People help the people
                 D
And nothing will drag you down
       Am  G   C
Oh and if I had a brain, 
       Am  G   C
Oh and if I had a brain
       Am       G       Cmaj7          Am7
i'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
     Am               B7           C       G->C
That turned, all those good hearts away

Good tab, I just reckon the Gm is a G major at the end of the chorus. Nice work.
