[Verse]
F                                 Am
God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
            G         Gsus4    G
I guess he kissed the girls and made them cry 
      F
those hardfaced queens of misadventure
F                                 Am
God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes
  G             Gsus4   G
a fiery throng of muted angels
       F
Giving love but getting nothing back
 
[Chorus]
F               Am
People help the people
              G
And if you're homesick 
                           F
Give me your hand and I'll hold it
F               Am
People help the people
                 G
And nothing will drag you down
       Dm  C   F
Oh and if I had a brain, 
       Dm  C   F
Oh and if I had a brain
       Dm       C       F
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
     Dm               E7           F         F
That turned, all those good hearts away
 
[Verse]
F                                Am
God knows what is hiding, in this world of little consequence
            G      Gsus4   G
Behind the tears, inside the lies
  F               F
A thousand slowly dying sunsets
F                                 Am
God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
  G              Gsus4   G
I guess the loneliness came knocking
       F                   F
No one needs to be alone, oh save me
 
[Chorus]
F               Am
People help the people
              G
And if you're homesick 
                           F
Give me your hand and I'll hold it
F               Am
People help the people
                 G
And nothing will drag you down
       Dm  C   F
Oh and if I had a brain, 
       Dm  C   F
Oh and if I had a brain
       Dm       C        F
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
     Dm               E7           F         F
That turned, all those good hearts away
