Helplessly, Hopelessly

Chord shapes aren't used through verse unless you want to strum
instead of following picking pattern.

Chords written as B* use normal B chord shape if strumming,
but different picking pattern. See end of tab.

Let the stars stand as witness to it all.
F#      Ebm        E            B          F#     Ebm  E  B*
Say the word and tonight I will follow you anywhere.
  F#            Ebm         E        B*    Db
I just can't pretend anymore I'm too sturdy  to fall.
