[Verse]
D          A       D       G
There is a town in north Ontario,
D          A       D      G
With dream comfort memory to spare,
    D     A             Gmaj7
And in my mind, I still need a place to go,
D                   G
All my changes were there.
 
D          A       D          G
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
D      A    D/A     G  D/A
Yellow moon on the rise,
                 G             D
Big birds flying across the sky,
         A          G
Throwing shadows in our eyes,
D
Leaves us
          A         G
Helpless, helpless, helpless,
D         A         G
Helpless, helpless, helpless

[Chorus]
Dmaj7       Gmaj7    D
Baby can you hear me now?
D                              G
The chains are locked and tied around my door,
D      Dmaj7       G            G6      D
And baby, will you sing with me somehow,
D         A         G
Helpless, helpless, helpless,
D         A         G
Helpless, helpless, helpless,
D         A         G
Helpless, helpless, helpless,
D   A         G
Helpless, helpless.

D                  Bm         D
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
D                  Gmaj7
Yellow moon on the rise,
D                G
Big birds flying across the sky,
D/A                Gmaj7 G
Throwing shadows in our eyes.
 
[Chorus]
D         A         G
Helpless, helpless, helpless,
D         A         G
Helpless, helpless, helpless,
D   A     G
Helpless, helpless,
D         A         G
Helpless, helpless, helpless,
D         A7        A6  G
Helpless, helpless, helpless.
